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.

"Obviously, we’re excited, but we know we got a big one coming up.
"We know we’re going to hear it again. It’s not going to stop now," first-year coach Sonny Dykes said. "We got to do what we did this game . We’ve got to answer that criticism and show up and do what we’re supposed to do.TCU would be the first team to win a national championship the year after having a losing season since Michigan State in 1965.
Neither is a future NFL draft first-rounder, and both had ups and down in the semifinal but came through in the biggest spots. These Bulldogs rely more on Bennett and their offense than last year's championship team, which fielded one of the best defenses college football has had in recent history. Georgia ranked fifth in the nation in yards per play coming into the playoff.
