This is the game that honestly it seems that people have forgotten about in the midst of Alabama and Oklahoma facing off. Understandably enough as the face-off between what is likely the best Alabama team we have ever seen against an Oklahoma team looking to show that a lack of good defense won’t stand in their way is a pretty exciting matchup.
However, the Cotton Bowl is exciting in its own right. This is the battle of unbeaten teams. This is a battle of two teams that have had their ups and downs, but overall found a way to 12-0. That doesn’t happen by accident. Many are doubting the Irish and many are sure that the Tigers, who have been in three of the last four College Football Playoffs, are a shoe in to win.
Is that what will happen? Nobody will know until they play the game. As a prequel to the action on the gridiron it’s time to take a look at five bold predictions for what could be a rather interesting matchup between Notre Dame and Clemson in the 2018 Cotton Bowl.
