Alabama is looking to win the Cotton Bowl, a College Football Playoff semifinal matchup, and get back to the CFP National Championship Game for a chance to defend its title. If that doesn't happen, it will be because Cincinnati will have pulled off a big upset at AT&T Stadium on Friday.
The Crimson Tide and the Bearcats are set to face off in the first of the two CFP semifinals set to take place on New Year's Eve, and one of these teams will be moving on to face either Michigan or Georgia for the national title on Jan.
