The 2016 College Football Playoff is just around the corner.

Dec. 27, 2016

Hello everybody. The College Football Playoffs are just around the corner. We are 4 days away from the 2 big games that will decide who plays for the National Championship. Today I am going to give you my take on the matchups and my final score predictions for both games. Now let's get started.

The Chick-Fil-A peach bowl will feature the Washington Huskies vs The Alabama Crimson Tide. So here are the matchups to look for.

Washington's Offense vs Alabama's Defense: Washington's Jake Browning was Impressive at QB this season he led the PAC-12 with 3280 yards passing this season. Myles Gaskin has be great at Running Back himself Rushing for 1339 yards this season the best in the PAC-12. John Ross has been great at Wide Receiver with 1122 yards Receiving himself. But they are facing one of the Best Defenses in the Country, So if Alabama wants to win this game they are going to have to Exploit The Huskies Offense and stop Jake Browning. So therefor the Edge goes to Washington Because Jake Browning and company know how to get the Job Done.

Alabama's Offense vs Washington's Defense: Alabama does have one of the best Offenses in the SEC they have dominated every opponent this season. Jalen Hurts 2592 yards passing this season. Damien Harris 986 yards rushing. ARDARIUS Stewart 862 yards Receiving this season. But Bama better be ready because Washington Does have one of the best Secondary's out of the Pac-12 and if Washington wants to win this game they are going to have to stop Jalen Hurts. If they can't it's going to e a long game. In the end the Edge goes to Alabama because they can do a lot of Damage thru the Air.

Special Teams: The Kicking Department has been good for Both teams. Look at Washington's Place Kicker Cameron Van-Winkle he's been excellent for Washington this season 74-of-75 on P.A.T.'s this season and he's 16-for-20 on Field Goal attempts this season. Now let's look at Alabama, Adam Griffith has been Excellent on P.A.T.'s this season. But he's only 19-for-26 in the Field Goal Department. So if it comes down to a last second Field Goal Attempt. I am going to give the edge to Washington just based on what I have seen this season.

Intangibles: This game will be decided in the trenches. Washington has a great Defense and they can get the Job Done. Despite the loss to USC during the regular. But Alabama has been flawless during the season themselves. It will comedown to who wants it the most. This is Washington's 1st time in the Spotlight like this. Alabama has been Here Before so the Advantage goes to Alabama because they know how to get it done late in the game.

Final Score Prediction, Alabama wins a close game 27-20.

The 2016 PlayStation Fiesta Bowl Will have Clemson facing Ohio State. Here are the matchups that I am going to be looking out for on New Year's eve.

Clemson's offense vs Ohio State's Defense: The Clemson Offense is the best in the ACC. Deshaun Watson was a Heisman Finalist with 3914 yards this season. Wayne GALLMAN has been nothing but excellent in the run game rushing for 1002 yards this season. And Mike Williams has been solid at Wide Receiver this season with 1171 yards receiving thru the air. Ohio State's defense has been Solid themselves except for the loss against Penn State. So with all of this in mind I am going to give the Advantage to Clemson because they have more Weapons in Their Arsenal.

Ohio State's Offense vs Clemson's Defense: J.T Barrett has been the go to guy at Ohio State with 2428 yards passing this season. Mike Weber has been great at Running Back this season with 1072 yards Rushing this season. But Mr. Do it all has been Curtis Samuel. He is a running back. But he leads the team in Receiving yards with 822 this season. He was the hero against Michigan this year. Clemson However has one of the Best Defense in the ACC and Ohio State is a little worried about that. But in the End the Advantage goes to Ohio State because J.T. Barrett and company can get the Job Done in the end.

Special Teams: Ohio State's Place Kicker Tyler Durbin has been great this season Despite missing 2 big Kicks against Michigan. Durbin for most of the season has been the go to guy if Ohio State needs a Field Goal to tie or to win. His Numbers have been Great this season. 63-of-65 on P.A.T. attempts and he's 17-for-20 on Field Goal attempts as well. But let's not sell Clemson's placekicker Greg HUEGEL short either. He has been fantastic this season as well, 62-of-64 on P.A.T. attempts and he's 13-of-17 on Field Goal attempts. But if you need a late field goal at the end of the game you want Tyler Durbin at the end. So the Advantage goes to Ohio State at the end of the game if needed.

Intangibles: This game will come down to who wants it the most. Both teams have been here before. So I look for a battle in the trenches and whoever forces the most turnovers will be the team who will win this game. Ohio State's defense has been great this season. But Clemson has the best Defense in the ACC. So with that in mind it will comedown to turnovers and the Edge goes to Clemson because they are the team that can do a lot of damage in the secondary.
