LA Times  

Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, left, celebrates a touchdown with his teammates in the first half of the Southeastern Conference championship against LSU on Saturday in Atlanta. 3 Texas Christian, 12-1, in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., also on New Year’s Eve at 1 p.m. Could Ohio State and Michigan pose serious challenges as Georgia pushes to repeat as champions? The committee then had three teams to consider for the final two spots: TCU, 12-1 and coming off a 31-28 overtime loss Saturday to Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game; Ohio State, 11-1 and still recovering from Michigan’s 45-23 win in Columbus last weekend; and Alabama, 10-2 and riding a three-game winning streak. L.A. could play host to a Michigan-Ohio State rematch in the CFP final Michigan receiver Cornelius Johnson plays against Ohio State during a game on Nov. 26 in Columbus, Ohio. If Las Vegas oddsmakers could have picked the probable national championship game a month ago, it would have certainly been Georgia and Ohio State.
