UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Oklahoma\u2019s overtime win in the Big 12 championship game on Saturday has put the Sooners in the CFP semifinals as the No. 4 seed. That\u2019s the good news. The bad news is that their semifinal opponent will be Heisman Trophy candidate Joe Burrow and the 13-0 LSU Tigers.<\/p>\n
The Tigers climbed over Ohio State for the top seed with their impressive 37-10 win over Georgia in the SEC title game. The Buckeyes dropped to second after turning a 21-7 halftime deficit into a 34-21 victory against Wisconsin in the Big 12 championship game.<\/p>\n
Ohio State\u2019s semifinal game will be against No. 3 Clemson, which stormed to a 62-17 win over Virginia in the ACC title game. The Tigers have a 28-game winning streak as they seek their third CFP crown in four years.<\/p>\n
LSU and Oklahoma will meet at the Peach Bowl on Dec. 28, the same day Ohio State and Clemson clash at the Fiesta Bowl.<\/p>\n
