The College Football Playoff semifinals delivered in a big way.
Now, we get to gear up for a showdown between blue-blood powerhouse programs Ohio State and Notre Dame after the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish out-muscled Texas and Penn State to earn a shot at a national title.
The semifinal slate started Thursday night with a brilliant Orange Bowl showdown between Penn State and Notre Dame that featured some bonkers runs and a terrific second half where two heavyweight teams traded blows.
The Nittany Lions jumped out to 10-point lead, the Irish answered with 17 points of their own only to see PSU respond with 14 points to take a seven-point lead.
