Alabama football is in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game for the sixth since the venue started in 2014.
Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide dominated Cincinnati in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl.
Alabama earned a 27-6 victory over the Bearcats at AT&T Stadium, punching its ticket for Saban’s opportunity to win his eighth national title. The Tide will rematch Georgia on Monday, Jan. 10, for the CFP title showdown. Alabama defeated the Bulldogs on Dec. 4, 2020, in the SEC Championship Game. Saban is 7-1 all-time against Georgia as Alabama’s head coach — including four wins in championship games.
