Orange Bowl 2018: Known Info Before Final Playoff Rankings Reveal

The 2018 Orange Bowl has the potential to go down as one of the most memorable individual showdowns in the history of college football.

After the final College Football Playoff rankings are released Sunday afternoon, No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Oklahoma will head to south Florida for a December 29 matchup at a time to be determined.

As the top seed, the Crimson Tide get to choose which game they'd like to play in, and since the Cotton Bowl is too close in vicinity to Oklahoma, they'll opt to play at a more neutral site at the Orange Bowl.
