The 2021 College Football Playoff kicked off on Friday, featuring No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl and No. 2 Michigan vs. No. 3 Georgia in the Orange Bowl.
Alabama and Cincy played first, and the Tide dominated the Bearcats pretty much from the start, and went to the locker room with a 17-3 lead at halftime.
Alabama didn't exactly slow down in the second half. The Tide's defense held Cincy to just one field goal in the third quarter, and scored a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to take a 24-6 lead.
