No more haggling and debating. The College Football Playoff selection committee has spoken, and the semifinal matchups are set.
All four teams own national championships, although it was 25 years ago for No. 4 Washington and 35 years ago for No. 2 Clemson. No. 3 Ohio State won the inaugural College Football Playoff in 2014 and No. 1 Alabama has won four of the past seven national championships.
Clemson and Ohio State will be playing for the second time in the past four seasons in the postseason. Clemson rallied for a 40-35 win in the Orange Bowl to cap the 2013 season, and similar to that game, this matchup features a pair of seasoned quarterbacks who've performed and delivered on big stages.
