The Final Four
The National semifinal
(1) Ohio State 35, (1) Clemson 24: The Buckeyes are still seething over the defensive touchdown that was overturned on replay in the 2019 College Football Playoff semifinals. They get another shot at the Tigers this season, again in the semifinals, and put the game away early.

So it was then off to the national championship game in which quarterback Justin Fields got a shot to matchup against his former Georiga squad. It was another close one, but in the end, Fields was the hero.
The National Championship Game
(1) Ohio State 35, (3) Georgia 31: In the new age of quarterback free agency in college football, you just knew we were going to get one of these matchups. Both teams have transfer quarterbacks who’ve had monster seasons, but one of those quarterbacks has a little extra motivation. Fields takes a pounding early from his former Georgia teammates, but keeps getting back up off the turf to lead the Buckeyes on a winning drive they will be talking about at the Ohio State University for a long time to come.
There it is. Ohio State is your national champion in a hypothetical 64-team tournament. Time to celebrate, raise the banner, and thump your chest Buckeye Nation.
