NCAA FOOTBALL: JAN 01 College Football Playoff Semifinal - Allstate Sugar Bowl

The NCAA hard a lot of issues with COVID-19 this season, but they limped to the finish line and now we get to watch the 2021 National Championship Game between Ohio State and Alabama. Both teams went undefeated this year, but the Crimson Tide played 5 more games than the Buckeyes. Alabama beat Notre Dame 31-14 in the Rose Bowl, and Ohio State beat Clemson 49-28 in the Sugar Bowl to make it to the title game. There will be a lot of players drafted from each team as there is every year, and these are two schools that the Washington Football team has been mining talent from over the last few seasons. This should be a great game.
