Yes, it is going to be Alabama taking on Washington in the Peach Bowl as ESPN revealed the Crimson Tide were No. 1 as expected. With that, ESPN also revealed that the Huskies were No. 4 in the final regular season college football playoff rankings and they landed in the Peach Bowl as well.
No. 2 in the rankings went to Clemson as ESPN reported the Tigers will head to the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31, 2016. Their opponent? Well, many people don’t feel as if they deserve it since they didn’t even play in their own conference championship game, but the Tigers will take on the #3-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.
