The College Football Playoff semifinals are almost here. We started with 12, and there are now just four teams remaining in the hunt for the national championship: five seed Texas, six seed Penn State,

The Fighting Irish and Nittany Lions face off in the Orange Bowl with a national championship berth on the line.

Ohio State is the clear national title favorite after the way that they have dominated through the first two rounds. The Buckeyes easily handled Tennessee at home in round one, and then they dismantled one seed Oregon in the Rose Bowl last week.

Ohio State has reached the Final Four. The Buckeyes, the No. 8 seed in the first 12-team College Football Playoff, will head to the Cotton Bowl for a Jan. 10 game with No. 5 Texas.
