Canzano: Thoughts, picks, and opinions on the College Football Playoff semifinals
Orange Bowl? Cotton Bowl? Who ya got?
The College Football Playoff national semifinals have arrived and I’m locking in my picks.
Penn State vs. Notre Dame?
Ohio State vs. Texas?
Three college football games are remaining — two semifinals and a national title game in Atlanta. I need to finish 2-1 or better against the spread to ensure an above-.500 finish for the third consecutive season. So I spent considerable time this week calling college head coaches, coordinators, and others I trust, bouncing my picks and thoughts off insiders.
I’m aiming to go 2-0.
My 2024 record vs. the spread this season: 90-88-1 (.506)
My record picking games straight up: 130-49 (.726)
