Alabama and Ohio State Reach the National Title Game With Runaway Wins
Notre Dame never really threatened the Crimson Tide in their College Football Playoff semifinal, and then Ohio State rolled over Clemson.

As Alabama running back Najee Harris took a handoff, bounced outside and headed upfield, he was confronted by Notre Dame cornerback Nick McCloud, who charged up to meet him with his shoulder lowered.
No matter. Harris, a 6-foot-2, 229-pound senior, treated McCloud like an oversize fire hydrant, leaping over him with the clean, syncopated stride of an Olympic hurdler and galloping down the sideline.
Colin Cowherd Has A Blunt Message For Clemson, Ohio State

Colin Cowherd proposes college football changes.
FOX commentator Colin Cowherd has been watching the College Football Playoff along with the rest of us. Ahead of the second semifinal game between Clemson and Ohio State, Cowherd had a message for the two teams.
Taking to Twitter, Cowherd pleaded with the Tigers and Buckeyes to give him a competitive football game. He was silent during the Rose Bowl Game between Alabama and Notre Dame but apparently found the 31-14 blowout boring.
“At this point w college football I just want a competitive game,” Cowherd wrote. A lot of people seem to share the sentiment, giving his tweet thousands of likes and retweets in the first few minutes.

PASADENA, CA For only the fourth time in 130 years, there was no New Year s Day procession of floral-laden floats along Colorado Boulevard to mark the new year, with the Rose Parade falling victim to health protocols imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the parade sidelined, the Tournament of Roses offered viewers a televised special, titled The Rose Parade s New Year Celebration, featuring musical performances, celebrity appearances, a look back at past parade entries and a peek behind the scenes of how the floats are made.
Rose Bowl Game will be played outside Pasadena for first time in 79 years
The 2021 Rose Bowl football game will not be played in Pasadena today.
Initially, the game was slated to be played in Pasadena without any fans present due to the Coronavirus. Notre Dame scoffed at the idea of playing the Rose Bowl Game in an empty stadium.
None of the three California pro football teams – LA Chargers, LA Rams, and San Francisco 49ers – have played games in the state. However, they have all played away games in the NFL. (The former Oakland Raiders are playing their inaugural season in Las Vegas and don’t allow fans in the stadium.)
