Alabama Shuts Out Michigan State, Will Face Clemson In National Championship
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Alabama is going to play for its fourth national championship in the past seven seasons, after winning the Cotton Bowl 38-0 over Michigan State in the College Football Playoff semifinal Thursday night.
The No. 2 Crimson Tide will play No. 1 Clemson in Arizona on Jan. 11.
No team has won more AP national championships that Alabama's nine. The Crimson Tide were national champs in 2009, 2011 and 2012, after having not won a title since 1992 before that.
After losing to Ohio State in a CFP semifinal last season, the Crimson Tide were all business in their second trip this season to AT&T Stadium. They started this season with a 35-17 win against Wisconsin, another Big Ten team, on Sept. 5.
