The Tigers and Crimson Tide won their semifinal contests in the College Football Playoff, setting up a title bout in the January 11 national championship game in Glendale, Arizona. Alabama routed Michigan State 38-0 in a game that was pretty much over midway through the third quarter. But after that it became clear Oklahoma wasn’t in Clemson’s league, physically or otherwise. Punter Andy Teasdall flipped a 31-yard pass to Christian Wilkins, a 315-pound freshman defensive tackle.
