The long parade of college football bowl games begins December 15, but the only two games that really matter in determining the national champion happen December 29 in the College Football Playoff semifinal games.

The No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the No. 2 Clemson Tigers in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. Then, 2018 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Kyler Murray (pictured) and the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners go up against the defending national champion and No. 1 seed Alabama Crimson Tide in the Capital One Orange Bowl. The winners move on to the title game January 7 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Here’s the full lineup of college football postseason games:
