Texas Christian University, the first Big 12 to win a playoff game, will be looking for its first national title since 1938.
After the best semifinal day in the nine-year history of the College Football Playoff, the title game will match the defending national champion against the closest thing the sport has had in years to a Cinderella team.
The Bulldogs came from 14 points down in the second half to beat No. 4 Ohio State 42-41 in the Peach Bowl and advance to the CFP championship game for the third time under coach Kirby Smart. "We're going to celebrate it," TCU quarterback Max Duggan said. "Obviously, we're excited, but we know we got a big one coming up."
Georgia, No. 1 for most of the season, is looking for its third national title, trying to become the first back-to-back champion in the CFP era and the first since Alabama won the BCS in 2011 and '12.
