The final day of 2022 will set the stage for this season’s College Football Playoff national championship. A pair of semifinal games are the highlights of the New Year’s Eve college football schedule as the New Year’s Six matchups continue on Saturday, and it should be a good one. While the semifinals have a track record of not being particularly interesting, things could be different this year as Michigan battles TCU and Ohio State looks to spring an upset on the defending national champions, Georgia.
Our staff here at Nittany Lions Wire is busy preparing for the Rose Bowl coming up in a couple of days but we took some time to share our quick thoughts and predictions for the College Football Playoff matchups as well. And we seem to be in unison on which two teams will advance to the national championship game, which is good news for one Big Ten team at least. Not so much the other. But we do have some differences in opinions on how these games will play out to get the end result.
If you are wondering how we feel about the Rose Bowl matchup between Penn State and Pac-12 champion Utah, check out our picks previously posted.
