The College Football Playoff for the 2019 season officially gets underway on Saturday afternoon with a showdown between LSU and Oklahoma in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The Tigers are making their first appearance in the CFB Playoff, while this game marks the Sooners’ fourth trip in five years. The winner of this matchup will advance to play either Ohio State or Clemson in the national championship on Jan. 13 in New Orleans.
LSU earned the No. 1 overall ranking in the College Football Playoff after a perfect 13-0 regular season. Since taking over as the full-time coach prior to the 2017 season, Ed Orgeron has pushed all of the right buttons with staff hires and accumulation of talent on the recruiting trail.
