Get ready for one of the biggest days of the 2022 college football bowl season: the College Football Playoff semifinals, plus two other bowl games. Here’s a rundown of the games today and what to watch for.
In terms of rankings, this is the topper among the non-playoff pairings. Hypothetically, any game involving Alabama has blowout potential, but the Crimson Tide have not been the juggernaut of years past, both winning and losing their share of tight ones. As for the Wildcats, the Big 12 champs are delighted with this opportunity and would love to cap off a huge season with a signature win.
The Horned Frogs seem incapable of playing any game that isn’t a nail-biter, and we certainly hope that tendency continues and breaks the trend of semifinal routs. Michigan, however, knows how to put games on ice in the fourth quarter, and the imposing Wolverines offensive line will look to do just that once again.But we’ll give the top nod to the prime-time game, given the past success enjoyed by both programs under this format.
