National Semifinal #1 is played in the Rose Bowl. The Oklahoma Sooners are playing the Georgia Bulldogs. Oklahoma has the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Baker Mayfield. Baker is from the Austin area. Texas did not recruit him (shock). He played as a walk-on at Texas Tech, then was benched. So, he transferred to Oklahoma where he won the starting job and eventually won the Heisman Trophy. It is a great story, but evidently the guy is a jerk. Oh well, plenty of great players have been jerks. Unfortunately for Oklahoma, he appears to have caught the flu this week. How this will affect the game is unknown. Georgia features a true freshman quarterback Jake Fromm under the tutelage of Kirby Smart the first year head coach. Georgia features a strong running game. Oklahoma a wide open passing attack. Perhaps the best defense will win. The commish went with his heart and will pick the Bulldogs. Vegas has the Bulldogs as 2.5 point favorites.
