SPORTS Thursday, December 13, 2018 East Oregonian B3 Stakes high in college football semis By RALPH RUSSO T Top: Clemson running back Travis Etienne; Bottom: Note Dame quarterback Ian Book he College Football Playoff semifinals are set, with No. 1 Alabama (13-0) facing No. 4 Oklahoma (12-1) in the Orange Bowl in Miami and No. 2 Clemson (13-0) facing No. 3 Notre Dame (12-0) in the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. Both games will be played Dec. 29. The defending national champion Crimson Tide is led by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, while the Sooners’ explosive offense is led quarterback Kyler Murray.

Clemson turned to freshman Trevor Lawrence after three games and he threw 24 touchdowns and only four interceptions. Alabama and Clemson are both double-digit favorites according to odds makers, meaning only a significant upset can prevent the fourth straight playoff meeting between the Tigers and Tide, and third championship game between the two.
