The college football Bowl Season is upon us, and teams from all across the country will face equal competition at neutral sites for the title of ‘bowl champion’ for a year. However, on Dec. 31, four teams will compete in two bowl games, where the winners will go on to participate in the final game of the season, and one team will leave with a trophy, the other with disappointment.
The two College Football Playoff semifinal games this season are the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl.
No. 1 Alabama will face No. 4 Cincinnati in Arlington, Texas for the Cotton Bowl; and No. 2 Michigan will play No. 3 Georgia in Miami, Florida for the Orange Bowl.
Seven experts from USA TODAY Sports made their predictions for all bowl games this year, including the two semifinal matchups.
For Bulldogs vs. Wolverines, the panel was split. Five of the seven selected Georgia, but two chose Michigan to move on to the National Championship.
In the Crimson Tide vs. Bearcats contest, it was unanimous: Nick Saban and Alabama will move on to play for national championship No. 19 for the program.
