It's No. 1 Alabama-No. 4 Notre Dame in Arlington, Texas (Free).
Did the committee make the right call? How do the teams compare?https://t.co/UziSrNvzU6

Six sitting FBS coaches spoke to @SINow about the CFP. Discussion led to one question: Can Alabama be beat?ย
โNo,โ says one, โcome on now.โย
Says another: โI think Trevor Lawrence gives anyone a shot.โย
A third: โOnly thing in Alabamaโs way is Alabamaโhttps://t.co/Ml8NuxFMyD

If there were ever a year to give a team like Cincinnati or Coastal Carolina a shot at a national title, it was here in 2020.
Instead, those teams have been left out in favor of the traditional powers.

But that doesn't take away from what they accomplished last night.
