The College Football Playoff is set: Alabama will play Ohio State in a Nick Saban-Urban Meyer rematch.

The Crimson Tide opened as a 9.5-point favorite against the Buckeyes in the national semifinals (8:30 p.m ET, Jan. 1). Alabama also is even money to win the national championship, according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton).
