Though the Peach Bowl College Football Playoff semifinal didn’t go the way that Chris Petersen and the Huskies wanted, we still get to find out tonight if the Alabama team that so thoroughly handled Washington’s potent offense can replicate that same feat against Deshaun Watson and the formidable Clemson Tigers. Coming on the heels of last year’s Bama-Clemson title game, this year’s event is the sport’s first national championship rematch since the introduction of the BCS era in 1998.
