Who is in the 2019 Rose Bowl?
Who is the 2019 Rose Bowl? Well, this will be Coach Urban Meyer's last game as Ohio State Football's Head Coach, as they take on the Washington Huskies in the 2019 Rose Bowl in Pasadena,California. This will be the 105th Rose Bowl game and should be one of the best PAC-12 vs Big Ten bowl games we have witnessed this College Football bowl season.
WASHINGTON HUSKIES ROSE BOWL 2019
The Washington Huskies Rose Bowl 2019 run was one they Husky faithful will always remember, as the Washington Huskies were able to defeat the Washington Cougars in the 2018 PAC-12 Championship game. This earned the Washington Huskies 2019 Rose Bowl bid and now they get to face a team that arguably should have been in this year's College Football Playoff in the Ohio State Buckeyes in Coach Urban Meyer's last game as Buckeyes Head Coach. We documented why Coach Urban Meyer is really stepping down as the Buckeyes Head Coach when the announcement had been made. This will be a true testament of where the Washington Huskies will be heading under our College Football Today Coach Of The Year, Chris Peterson into the 2019 CFB season.
URBAN MEYER RETIRING AFTER ROSE BOWL 2019
Urban Meyer will be retiring after the 2019 Rose Bowl and will be teaching a class at Ohio State on leadership and character. Urban Meyer had a glorious run, as seen via Sports-Reference.com below. When I watched the presser below, I found it ironic how Coach Petersen worded his introductory speech, as he used great lingo to avoid stating he was "friends" with Coach Urban Meyer. Could have been accident, but Coach Meyer's career has not been, as he will go down as one of the greatest coaches in College Football history with 186 wins and only 32 losses. Off the field is another well documented story at College Football Today, as the facts remain it was Coach Meyer's staffs who caused his demise and why he will be coaching his last game as a Ohio State Buckeye at the 2019 Rose Bowl in Pasadena,California.
OHIO STATE ROSE BOWL 2019
Coach Meyer will be leading the Ohio State Buckeye's into the 2019 Rose Bowl for the first time in his outstanding coaching career. The Ohio State defense was the primary reason why the Ohio State Buckeyes did not make the College Football Playoff, which was also stated by David Pollack of ESPN. Who in my professional opinion, is the most knowledgeable broadcasters at ESPN, he is so football savvy, that I thought he was a Quarterback at UGA for quite sometime. Anyways more about the GOAT we wanna steal from ESPN later, how about you take a look at what Coach Urban Meyer has been able to accomplish through coaching discipline and hard work to his players below.
WASHINGTON HUSKIES ROSE BOWL 2019
The Washington Huskies defense will need to step up big against Dwayne Haskins Jr and the potent Ohio State offensive unit in order to win the 2019 Rose Bowl Championship. The Washington Huskies will rely heavily on College Football Today Defensive Player Of The Year Ben Burr-Kirven and look to slow down the Ohio State offensive attack. Not many have not moved the ball against the Ohio State Buckeyes this season, so we could be in for a Rose Bowl 2019 shootout when it is all said and done. Coach Meyer and Coach Petersen will have both teams mentally prepared for this historic 105th Rose Bowl game in Pasadena,California at the Grand Daddy of them all.

VIRGINIA TECH VS CINCINNATI PREDICTIONS
Virginia Tech vs Cincinnati predictions can be found on our CFB Bowl predictions page at College Football Today, along with all 2018-2019 bowl predictions by CFB today expert staff.
Cincinnati football had a amazing season and finished 10-2, as they look to cap off the season with a win in the Military Bowl against Virginia Tech. The Hokies football program finished the season 6-6 and had a embarrassing in state loss to Old Dominion. With that being said, this did not stop the Hokies from landing top running back recruit Tahj Gary, as they look to bounce back strong in 2019. Coach Bud Foster had a lackluster defense this season in Blacksburg, as the Hokies defense has allowed nearly 440 yards per game in the 2018 college football season. Cincinnati suffered a heartbreaking loss in overtime to Temple, which ended any chances of reaching the American Conference Championship to play undefeated UCF. They were able to topple PAC-12 opponent UCLA at the start of the season. The Hokies were nearly at risk of losing bowl eligibility sitting at 4-6 and found a way to beat in state rival Virginia to keep their 2018 bowl eligibility alive in overtime. They went on to beat Marshall, who has proven to be a very good college football team in 2018, as Gasparilla Bowl champs and earned the right to play the very talented bearcats in the 2018 Military Bowl. The Military Bowl game will kickoff at noon EST on ESPN. College Football predictions for this match-up can be found on our 2018-2019 College Football Today Bowl predictions page, along with all 2018-2019 CFB bowl game predictions.
OREGON VS MICHIGAN STATE
Oregon vs Michigan State will play in the 2018 Redbox Bowl, which is slated to kick off at 3:00PM in Santa Clara, California. This game will feature two of the best teams from the Big Ten and PAC-12 conferences respectively and I expect Oregon to come out on top handily over a befuddled 2018 Michigan State Spartans football team. This game should be a true testament to where both of these power five conferences are heading in the future, as these two formidable opponents look to battle for the 2018 Redbox Bowl Trophy on ESPN. Look for 2019 NFL Draft QB Justin Herbert, as he looks grade out highly one last time on NFL teams 2019 draft boards.

CLEMSON FOOTBALL RECRUITING
The hype around Clemson Football recruiting that was revolving around Trevor Lawrence was not a mistake, as it nauseated some of us who do not believe in overhyping young men who cannot handle the situation yet. Lawrence proved this theory wrong and I am proud of him for that fact. Trevor has kept his composure through all adversity and even though he is loaded with offensive weaponry around him, Trevor proved to be the final piece to the Dabo Swinney masterpiece, which is the 2018-2019 Clemson Tigers.- Read 2018 Clemson Preview which features Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney.
CLEMSON QUARTERBACK TREVOR LAWRENCE
The College Football Freshmen Of The Year Award was taken by Trevor Lawrence in the College Football Playoff. He has earned the title as the best Freshmen College Football Player Of The Year, as he has played outstanding football for the Clemson Tigers and was a big reason they were able to defeat Notre Dame by a score of 30-3. Clemson will look for Trevor to lead them past the Alabama Crimson Tide, with our College Football Player Of The Year in standout Running Back Travis Etienne.
TREVOR LAWRENCE 2018 STATS
Trevor Lawrence's 2018 College Football stats can be found in the box below, via sports-reference.com. In terms of passing stats across the nation in College Football Today, Trevor was first in the ACC in passing touchdowns and first in the ACC in passing efficiency.
CFB CHAMPIONSHIP 2018
The CFB Playoff National Championship is set and it will once again feature Alabama vs Clemson for the right to hoist the 2018-2019 College Football National Championship Trophy. Looking back at the past few seasons, each team has proven dominance in both conference play and post season play, and both teams rightfully deserve to be here once again in the current College Football Playoff system we have today. We have documented Coach Nick Saban's climb to the top as one of the most significant figures in CFB history and even talked about how Dabo Swinney and Nick Saban have very similar coaching philosophies.
DABO SWINNEY NICK SABAN
Written 7/28/2018 by Maddy Sperling
Reading and listening to how these two head coaches define their processes, I have noticed some important parallels between their leadership philosophies. According to Swinney, the culture he has installed in the Clemson program is driven by ‘The Why’ of what he, his staff and his athletes do–not just how they do it, but why. As such, his leadership style is highly focused on intent and purpose.
Similarly, in a recent speech given a camp at Alabama, Coach Saban emphasized the importance of choice to the young athletes in attendance. Much like Swinney’s philosophy of why, Saban aims to instill conscientious action and decision-making in his student-athletes. While working for a publication that also covers college football prospects, I have found these lessons are likely the most imperative in guiding young athletes. Half of the submissions we receive from high school athlete requesting help in their recruiting process show a disturbing lack of purpose and sincerity, and it’s clear that the recruit has yet to ask themselves why they want to play college football. I have also seen this pattern of haphazardness in top rated, 4-5-star recruits. I’m not saying it’s wrong or condemnable for an 18 year-old to not have a meticulous life strategy, but it is imperative for rising college football players, FBS or otherwise, to reflect on the whys:
Why do you want to play college football?
Why did you choose to play football in the beginning, and why is it still a big part of your life?
Why do you want to play in college and not in a minor professional league?
Why did you pick the school you play for?
These questions are so important in the recruiting process and in the greater realm of college football because when a young player’s motivations are driven one-dimensionally, they are setting themselves up to make destructive choices and even subconsciously sabotage themselves on the field.
The parallels in leadership between these two powerhouse programs demonstrate why they are where they are and why there will be no shortage of competitive Clemson-Alabama match-ups in future college football playoffs as long as they continue to re-install these core values in these young men. ​

CFB Championship 2018 & The College Football Playoff History at College Football Today
Read NowCFB CHAMPIONSHIP 2018
The CFB Playoff National Championship is set and it will once again feature Alabama vs Clemson for the right to hoist the 2018-2019 College Football National Championship Trophy. Looking back at the past few seasons, each team has proven dominance in both conference play and post season play, and both teams rightfully deserve to be here once again in the current College Football Playoff system we have today. We have documented Coach Nick Saban's climb to the top as one of the most significant figures in CFB history and even talked about how Dabo Swinney and Nick Saban have very similar coaching philosophies. When we look back, should Georgia have snagged the fourth and final CFP spot or was a undefeated team like UCF more capable of playing the role of the underdog? Well, this all would be solved if they just would have listened to College Football Today.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF 2018
Below is the College Football Playoff format we suggested back on 11/18/2018 and we believe this was a clear solution to the many issues with the current College Football Playoff we currently use in the 2018-2019 CFB season.
8 Team College Football Playoff Format
The winners of each power five conference will receive an automatic bid into the College Football Playoff bracket and will be seeded by a committee after Final 8 teams are determined.
This now makes conference title games the first round of the new College Football Today Playoff system, which will not only increase revenue, but the level of play in each conference the entire season.
The Big Three will be sorted out by a similar system to the old BCS rankings, by using the AP Top 25, Coaches Poll and our College Football Today voting process to determine the final three teams, which are to be the best remaining three teams in College Football Today.
College Football Playoff Schedule
Lets take a look at how our College Football Playoff model would project this year in College Football Today.
SEC Championship - #1 Alabama vs #5 Georgia
Big Ten Championship - #22 NorthWestern vs Michigan/Ohio St
ACC Championship - #2 Clemson vs #23 Pitt
Big 12 Championship - #7 Oklahoma, # 13 WVU, #15 Texas
PAC-12 Championship - #8 Washington St vs #19 Utah
CFP Projections
If you take the average of the CFP Top 25, AP Top 25, Coaches Poll & the CFB Today Poll, you will come to the final 10 teams below. With games still to be played, this all could obviously play out much differently, but this model would generate a 8 team College Football Playoff system that would crown a true College Football National Champion!
Ohio State - 9.75 10th Ranking Overall (Depending on Michigan outcome)
UCF 8.75 avg - 9th Ranking Overall (Most Likely to be in Final 8)
LSU - 8.5 avg Receives 8th seed
WSU - 7.0 avg Receives 7th seed
OU 6.5avg - Receives 6th seed
Georgia - 5.0 avg - Receives 5th seed
Michigan - 4.0 avg - Receives 4th seed
Notre Dame - 2.5 avg - Receives 3rd seed
Clemson - 2.25 avg - Receives 2nd seed
Alabama - 1.25 avg Receives 1st seed
This makes teams like Ohio State, NorthWestern, Pitt, Texas, WVU and Utah's conference championships that more meaningful, as if they knock off one of these teams, they now can enter the College Football Playoff rankings.

#2 Clemson vs #7 Washington State
#3 Notre Dame* vs #6 Oklahoma

LAST FOUR COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS
Since the College Football Playoff began four years ago, the last four college football national champions are found below and how they advanced in each respective college football playoff.
The 2014 College Football Playoff was won by Ohio State, as they were able to defeat #1 Alabama by a score of 42-35 in the College Football Playoff Semifinals. They then went on to defeat the winner of the Rose Bowl game between Oregon and Florida State, where Oregon found themselves victorious by a score of 49-20 over Florida State. The final score of the 2014 College Football National Championship found the Ohio State Buckeyes on top of Oregon in dominating fashion, by a score of 42-20. This concluded the first ever College Football Playoff series and Ohio State was crowned 2014 National Champions.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF ALABAMA CLEMSON
In 2015, the historic college football playoff match-up we know today started to form, as Alabama and Clemson faced off in the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship game for the first time. This College Football Playoff National Championship was won in dramatic fashion by the Alabama Crimson-Tide by a score of 45-40 and Coach Saban reigned victorious once again, as National Champion.
In 2016, the tables turned in favor of Coach Dabo Swinney, as the Clemson Tigers were able to defeat the favored Alabama Crimson-Tide by a score of 35-31 in yet another very close battle for the College Football National Championship Trophy. This win by Clemson really ignited the national debate on who was the best team in all of College Football Today, as Clemson once again reached the College Football Playoff in 2017, only to fall to then 4th seeded Alabama by a score of 24-6. This was a embarrassing loss for the Clemson Tigers on the national stage and their conquest for revenge has been very fun to watch this season at College Football Today.
CFP 2017 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The CFP 2017 National Championship game featured 4th seeded Alabama vs the 3rd seeded Georgia Bulldogs. Alabama was once again crowned National Champions, as this began the trending topic we know today as, Tua Tagovailoa. Alabama beat the Georgia Bulldogs in overtime by a score of 26-23 and we expect the 2018-2019 College Football Playoff National Championship game to be the best College Football Playoff game yet. As we eliminate all underdogs from the sport of College Football Today ands create a Golden State Warriors vs The Cleveland Cavaliers (Lebron James days) type of ongoing saga that never seems to end. I am not stating these are not the best two teams in College Football Today, but a 8 team playoff system would eliminate all doubt that this was the motif behind the 13 member playoff committee.

Who would be in the College Football Playoff in our College Football Today 8 Team CFP format.

Big Ten Championship - #22 NorthWestern vs #6 Ohio St
ACC Championship - #2 Clemson vs #23 Pitt
Big 12 Championship - #7 Oklahoma vs #15 Texas
PAC-12 Championship - #8 Washington vs #19 Utah
Wow, so we would automatically have Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Washington in the College Football 8 Team Playoff as automatic Power 5 Conference winning bids for the right to compete in the CFP. The remaining three teams are now very visibly easy to mostly everyone involved with this selection process and they would be as follows: Notre Dame, Georgia and UCF. The winning streak UCF has been able to produce has been quite fun to watch and they were able to complete yet another undefeated season in the American Conference. Many would argue for others for that remaining 8th ranking in the College Football Playoff, but their overall body of work would then be much harder to look past.

ALABAMA VS OKLAHOMA 2018 ORANGE BOWL
The College Football Playoff match-up between the Alabama Crimson-Tide and the Oklahoma Sooners will be played tonight on ESPN, right after the Cotton Bowl is completed at 6:00 PM. Trevor Lawrence looks to complete his run for College Football Today Freshmen Of The Year with a big win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who have been outstanding defensively this season for the Notre Dame faithful. Right now the score is in favor of the Clemson Tigers by over three scores and it appears that they will be advancing to play the winner of tonight's 2018 Capital One Orange Bowl match-up between Oklahoma and Alabama. Let's take a look back at how we predicted the 2018 Heisman trophy first below and then talk about tonight's match-up, along with the 2013 game, where Oklahoma reigned victorious.
ALABAMA VS OKLAHOMA HEISMAN TROPHY
Who won The 2018 Heisman Trophy? Kyler Murray of The Oklahoma Sooners has won the 2018 Heisman Trophy and his stats are compared to 2017 Heisman Trophy Winner Baker Mayfield.
Baker Mayfield's 2017-2018 College Stats are compared below to Kyler Murray's 2018 College stats through 13 games, where Baker Mayfield has his stats reflected through 14 games.

OKLAHOMA VS ALABAMA 2013
Oklahoma vs Alabama in the 2013-14 Sugar Bowl was in favor of the Oklahoma Sooners, as Trevor Knight threw for 348 yards and 4 touchdowns to beat the Crimson Tide by a score of 45-31. This game is very similar when you look at the match-up, but inserting the Heisman Trophy Winner and the runner-up, will make this game that much better in terms of passing the eye test for a legendary College Football Playoff match-up. I picked the Sooners to win this game in dramatic fashion over Alabama by a score of 45-42 because Kyler Murray is the best player arguably in College Football history. He will be paid more then any NFL player, to play in Major League Baseball and could pass for a different kind of Bo Jackson in the future. That being said, Alabama has been the favorite in Vegas since the start of the season, so I believe everyone who bet on Alabama is about to lose some money in the 2018 College Football Playoff Semifinal.
CFP SEMIFINALS
Below we introduced how our CFP Semifinals would have looked this year at College Football Today.
