In a year when not much has felt normal, I suppose we should be thankful to the College Football Playoff for providing some sense of normalcy. We've reached the end of a college football season that has been unlike any other with games existing in a constant state of peril ready to be canceled or postponed at any time. Others have been scheduled with barely a week's notice. There have been differences from conference to conference with some playing as many as 10 games and others as few as six or less due to cancellations.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney might need to consider moving Ohio State into the top 10 of his Coaches Poll ballot next week after No. 3 Ohio State dominated No. 2 Clemson 49-28 in the 2021 Sugar Bowl semifinal behind a heroic performance from quarterback Justin Fields. The junior signal caller thrilled by completing 22 of 28 passes for 385 yards and a Sugar Bowl-record six touchdowns with more highlights than one could count as Ohio State advanced to the College Football Playoff National Championship.

The beauty and tradition of the Rose Bowl was relocated to the sprawling concrete of North Texas.

Clemson University's Memorial Stadium, where the football Tigers play, isn't easy to miss. And in 2020, it's hard to miss that Clemson is really good at football, too. That didn't stop one attendant from stopping me on my only trip to the Clemson campus in South Carolina to whisper in my ear. "Hey, you know the guys that play over there?" he asked, then paused for dramatic effect. "They're pretty good," was the punchline. Yes, two national titles since 2016 qualifies Dabo Swinney's Tigers as "pretty good."

After a Friday night stuffed with semifinals, be prepared to wake up, have your coffee and get back to work. This isn’t a holiday, it’s the final full day of bowl season, and, it’s the last Saturday – until September – that you’ll be able to tune into more than one FBS college football game.

Alabama coach Nick Saban answers retirement questions often and at each turn, reminds those who follow the Crimson Tide that he's enjoying life on top of the college football world. With the nation's top-ranked team this fall, Alabama is the favorite to win a national title — a perfect opportunity to ride off into the sunset for Saban according to ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum.

It began with Joe Burrow, Coach O and an unprecedented LSU run that made college football history, and 2020 ended on an even more unprecedented historical note.

The 2020 college football season comes down to this: three games to decide the national champion. The first two of those games will take place on the traditional New Year's Day date, albeit with a twist. Due to issues of COVID-19 pandemic in the state of California, the Rose Bowl matchup between No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Notre Dame has been moved to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas; it is only the second Rose Bowl Game in history to take place outside of Pasadena, Calif.

It's the final day of the year, but there's still plenty of football to be played as the college football season inches closer to its finish. Four games highlight the action on New Year's Eve, including a pair of bowls featuring ranked teams. No. 24 Tulsa plays Mississippi State in the Armed Forces Bowl held in Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, followed by No. 22 San Jose State meeting Ball State in the Arizona Bowl at Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
