Championship Week is here, meaning we're just one week away from the announcement of the 40-game 2018 bowl schedule. Sporting News, of course, has projections for all of those bowls.
The big debate is who to put against Alabama in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. Will Georgia disrupt that in the SEC championship? Or will it be Ohio State or Oklahoma against the Crimson Tide? For now, the College Football Playoff semifinal we have scheduled will feature Ohio State vs. Alabama.
