For the first time since last year, it's time for "The Drive with Brad Bobo" heads for Georgia, and our Tuesday afternoon visit with CBS Sports college football analyst Barrett Sallee. We get his update on the breaking news of the day (and it's NOT political) on COVID issues .

Alabama will compete in the College Football Playoff National Championship for the fifth time in six years after beating Notre Dame 31-14 in the Rose Bowl.
The Crimson Tide opened as a three-score favorite and delivered a dominant performance to justify that status.
For the Fighting Irish, this is yet another overwhelming defeat on the big stage. Despite that big win over Clemson in November, the gap between them and the Power Five elite seems to be as wide as ever.

It was the Najee Harris and DeVonta Smith show. Harris went for 100-plus yards for the sixth time this season, and Smith tied a Rose Bowl record with three touchdown receptions.
If the College Football Playoff is here, that means one thing: Collin Wilson is ready to offer betting picks.
Wilson broke down the Rose Bowl between Alabama and Notre Dame and the Sugar Bowl between Clemson and Ohio State and shared a betting pick for each.
Check out Wilson s full breakdown for each CFP semifinal game below.
The College Football Playoff semifinal games are finally here as we inch closer toward the end of a 2020 season that has been unlike any other.
This season has been full of ups, downs, cancellations, and postponements, but the top four teams in the country as appointed by the CFP committee are ready to go for two final games.
Rose Bowl Game will be played outside Pasadena for first time in 79 years
The 2021 Rose Bowl football game will not be played in Pasadena today.
Initially, the game was slated to be played in Pasadena without any fans present due to the Coronavirus. Notre Dame scoffed at the idea of playing the Rose Bowl Game in an empty stadium.
None of the three California pro football teams – LA Chargers, LA Rams, and San Francisco 49ers – have played games in the state. However, they have all played away games in the NFL. (The former Oakland Raiders are playing their inaugural season in Las Vegas and don’t allow fans in the stadium.)
Notre Dame Concentrating on Changing the Narrative Against Alabama
The Fighting Irish are focused on redemption after two losses in season-defining games last decade

DALLAS A common theme this week heading into the Rose Bowl for Notre Dame is changing the narrative.
What narrative is that? The recurring theme of while the Fighting Irish are consistently a top team, they just as consistently fall on the big stage.
The narrative began its construction in the 2013 BCS National Championship Game, where Alabama bowled over Notre Dame 42-14. In the Fighting Irish’s only College Football Playoff appearance in the 2018 Cotton Bowl against Clemson, the 30-3 final score in favor of the Tigers only expanded on the narrative of poor performance in postseason play when the season is on the line.
