Who’s ready to go back to Texas?

The University of Alabama is headed to the Lone Star state for the second time this season, this time with a shot at the national championship on the line.

Alabama was awarded the No. 2 ranking and a date against No. 3 Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl as part of the College Football Playoff to be played New Year’s Eve at 7 p.m. in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

It is the second straight season the Crimson Tide made the CFP.
