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.
Alabama and Oklahoma have not
played since the 2014 Sugar Bowl,

Notre Dame installed Ian Book
as the starter four games into
the season and the junior has
completed 70 percent of his passes
with 19 touchdowns. 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.

AP College Football Writer
won by the Sooners. The stakes will
be much higher this time around
and feature the two highest scoring
teams in the country. Oklahoma is
averaging 49.5 points per game and
Alabama is averaging 47.9.
Meanwhile in the other semifinal,
Clemson and Notre Dame face
off for the first time since 2015, a
regular-season game played in a
downpour and won by the Tigers,
24-22.
The Irish are making their first
playoff appearance, but for Clemson
this is four straight. Both teams
made quarterback switches during
the season to lift their offenses.
