LSU football and No. 4 Oklahoma go head-to-head in the Peach Bowl in the first semifinal game of this year’s College Football Playoff.

The LSU Tigers have gone perfect to this point in the season and have had one of the most impressive offenses in not just school history but in college football history. Led by quarterback Joe Burrow, the Tigers have been consistent in lighting up the scoreboard and embarrassing opposing defenses, and look to continue that trend versus Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma Sooners seemed to be on a collision course for the playoff, but a mid-season loss to Kansas State had some wondering if the Sooners resume was good enough to propel them back into the mix of things at season’s end. But the Sooners won out, including two wins over Baylor, and won the Big 12 Championship. And thanks to a little help from their Peach Bowl opponent and Oregon, the Sooners made it into the final four on Selection Sunday.

The 2019 Peach Bowl is going to be one of the most watched games of the entire college football season. Obvious reasons for this exist, such as it’s one of the semi-final games of the College Football Playoff and its two prominent schools with great fan bases and rich history. But there’s more to this game that makes it more exciting and more watchable than others.

What exactly? See for yourself.
