The Alabama Crimson Tide will meet the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Rose Bowl College Football Semifinal. This game is normally played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena but was changed this year to AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
Alabama is the top seed in the playoff bracket after coming off an impressive 10-0 season with a big SEC championship win over Florida, 52-46. Mac Jones has thrown for over 3,700 yards with 32 touchdowns this year and he’ll look to add to his stats when they take the field this afternoon.
Notre Dame is seeded #4 in the playoff and went 10-1 as a temporary member of the ACC after a tough 34-10 loss to Clemson in the ACC championship game. Ian Book has thrown for 15 touchdowns and over 2,600 yards this season. It will be interesting to see if Notre Dame can keep up with Alabama’s fast-paced offense.
This will be one you won’t want to miss, here is everything you need to know to stream the Rose Bowl this afternoon.

Prediction: Notre Dame is a good team but they struggle with fast-paced teams as they did with Clemson in the ACC championship game. I really don’t see the Fighting Irish keeping up with this Alabama team. I’d make money early and enjoy the show, that is why I’m taking Alabama first half, they will come out fast and score a few touchdowns to cruise to victory.
