Florida State was kicked out of the College Football Playoff and it triggered a wave of negative responses on the decision to include Alabama. But was the committee right to side with the Crimson Tide?
Now that the semi-finals are set, the matchups appear to portend two potentially exciting clashes. Michigan will face Alabama at the Rose Bowl with the Wolverines trying to win their first playoff game Texas and Washington face off in the Sugar Bowl. Maybe it’s the the most unpredictable playoff semifinals during the 10 years of the four-team system. Who will advance to the national title game in Houston?
Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports discuss these topics and more in this week’s version of the College Football Fix.
