The Rebels made their way to the Fiesta Bowl by defeating Tulane before upsetting Georgia in a hectic Sugar Bowl. Their first CFP appearance, the Rebs are making history, and with Pete Golding at the helm, none the less. Now, they're one victory away from their first national championship appearance.
The Hurricanes, too, upset their way to Glendale. They downed Texas A&M on the road before eliminating defending champion Ohio State. Now, their first national title since 2001 is in sight.
