The four-team College Football Playoff is finally set, which means it’s time to start projecting who will win when the teams square off on Dec. 31.
No. 1 Alabama is expected to defeat No. 4 Washington in the Peach Bowl, while No. 2 Clemson is expected to squeak by No. 3 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.
Depending on which Las Vegas book you prefer, Alabama is either an 11-point or 14-point favorite over the Huskies:
Vegas book @CGTechnology_ playoff openers:
Washington vs. Alabama -11
Clemson vs. Ohio St -3.5

Difference of opinion in Vegas. Westgate Super Book makes Alabama a 14-point favorite over Washington. CG Tech opened Bama -11.

Either way, the Crimson Tide are two-score favorites. The rest is just semantics at this point.
