"(AP Photo/Roger Steinman, File) The College Football Playoff (CFBP) continues after last night's epic opener where Alabama rallied from 17 points down to secure a 34-24 win over Oklahoma. Saturday afternoon brings three more gridiron clashes to delight football fans around the world and those results will finalize the remaining eight teams left to battle for the national championship on Jan. 19."
"The middle game of the college afternoon brings a rematch of an early season beatdown. On Sept. 20, the 13th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels smacked the unranked Tulane Green Wave in a 45-10 victory at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Three months later, Tulane is back for another shot against Ole Miss and their 65,000+ fans with higher stakes on the line. Tulane dominated North Texas, 34-21, in the American Conference title game to secure a postseason bid following an 11-2 season."
The College Football Playoff field will include five conference champions and seven at-large selections under the 12-team format. Alabama rallied from 17 points down to beat Oklahoma 34-24 in the CFP opener. Saturday's slate will determine the eight remaining teams advancing toward the national championship on Jan. 19. Ole Miss (11-1) and Tulane (11-2) meet in a first-round rematch after Ole Miss won 45-10 on Sept. 20. Tulane earned a CFP spot by beating North Texas in the American Conference title game. Both programs face coaching changes entering the matchup in Oxford.
