It's down to Bama and the Buckeyes for college football's national championship. Alabama and Ohio State both bring undefeated records and a wealth of NFL talent into Monday night's title game. Alabama blew out Notre Dame in the first semifinal game last week to punch its ticket to the final, and the Buckeyes trounced Clemson in the other semifinal.
Alabama is led by Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith, who became the first wide receiver since 1991 to win the award for the top player in college football. Throwing Smith the ball is Mac Jones, who finished third in Heisman voting. When he isn't passing the ball, Jones can hand off to Najee Harris, who was fifth in Heisman voting and runs the ball behind the best offensive line in college football (and is able to leap defenders in a single bound). The Tide also might get Jaylen Waddle back from injury for the game; Waddle started the year as the team's top receiving target. In summary, Alabama has not struggled to move the ball and score points this year.
Ohio State turned in an offensive explosion against Clemson, with Justin Fields having his best game behind center. He threw six touchdown passes, three to tight ends and a pair to top target Chris Olave. Buckeye ball carrier Trey Sermon ran for two scores of his own en route to piling up 193 yards on the ground, which followed a school record 331 rushing yards the previous game in the Big Ten championship. (Sermon can also hurdle defenders.) The Buckeyes will need a similar offensive output to keep up the Tide, who are a nine-point favorite heading into the game.
The CFP National Championship kicks off in Miami on Monday, Jan. 11 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) and will be broadcast on ESPN.
Ohio State and Alabama will meet on Monday night for the national championship. The two teams last met in 2015 when the Buckeyes upset the heavily favored Crimson Tide in the semifinals on their way to a national title in the first college football playoff.
