Ontheair statement and do some- thing special." These teams have been on a collision course since Clemson and Alabama were ranked 1-2 in the sec- ond College Football Playoff rankings. They've held the top two spots since, leaving no doubt they're the best teams in the country. With Alabama favored by 7 points, Clemson is the underdog for a second straight game. Oklahoma was favored in the Orange Bowl by 4 points. A look at the semifinals and what to expect head- ing to the title game: NoMoreClemsoning A team once known for such inexplicable stumbles that a derisive term was coined for it — Clemson- ing — blew out the No. 4 Sooners over the final two quarters after trailing 17-16 at halftime. Quarterback Deshaun Watson turned in another stellar all-around perfor- mance, beating Oklahoma with his arm and his legs. The defense did the rest, shutting down Baker May- field and a Sooners of- fense that was averaging 52 points over its previous seven games. Clemson (14-0) showed the sort of balance it will need to cope with Ala- bama's stifling defense, rushing for 312 yards and passing for 218. Watson, who was named the game's offensive MVP, passed for one touchdown and ran for another. Wayne Gall- man rushed for 150 yards and a pair of TDs. "As a unit," Watson said, "it's tough to beat us when we're all on the same page and have each other's back." The defense was even more impressive, especially since star end Shaq Law- son was knocked out of the game in the opening min- utes with a knee injury. The Sooners (11-2) matched their lowest-scoring game of the season as Baker May- field was sacked five times and intercepted twice, fi- nally getting knocked out of the game when he took a blow to the head trying to make a tackle after his second pick. The Tigers didn't just beat the Sooners. They beat them up. Lawson, who intends to turn pro after this season, said he'll be ready to go in his final college game. He was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament. "I'm going to be back," he vowed. Roll, Tide, Roll Alabama looked like a team with no weaknesses against Michigan State. Jake Coker was nearly perfect for the Tide (13- 1). The senior completed 25 for 30 for a career-best 286 yards. Freshman Cal- vin Ridley was brilliant, streaking by defenders on deep throws and outfight- ing them on jump balls. He caught eight passes for 138 yards and two TDs. Jonathan Allen and the ferocious Tide defen- sive front sacked Connor Cook four times and al- lowed the Spartans (12-2) only one trip into the red zone — which ended with Cyrus Jones intercepting a pass at the goal line. Jones added a high-step- ping 57-yard punt return touchdown for the Tide, which hardly had to use Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry. The big tail- back was just a role player against a Spartans defense stacked to stop the run. He finished with 75 yards but did score two touchdowns. Now, the Tide will try to prevent Clemson from be- coming the first team in FBS history to finish 15-0. "Clemson is a great team, undefeated, a great program," Saban said. "I'm sure our guys will be moti- vated, trying to do the best they can to play the best they can in the game. It's a great opportunity for them. I'm proud as hell of them to get where they are." Title FROM PAGE 1 passes away from tying Daryle Lamonica's single- season franchise record of 34 set in 1969; He needs one TD pass to break a tie with Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning for sec- ond most ever in his first two seasons. "I think he's had a re- ally strong year," coach Jack Del Rio said. ""It's one more opportunity to add on to that. He's near- ing the franchise record for touchdowns thrown. He's thrown for a bunch of yards. He's done a great job bringing us back in several games. I think he's had a really strong year. It'd be great to end that year on a strong note." The performance this year has ended any doubts raised when Oakland went 3-13 in 2014 of whether Carr is the person to build the offense around. One big difference this season is he has had much more help. Rookie re- ceiver Amari Cooper has 70 catches for 1,050 yards and seven touchdowns, and running back Lata- vius Murray has rushed for 1,035 yards. That puts the Raiders in striking distance of joining the 1996 New England Patri- ots (Drew Bledsoe, Terry Glenn, Curtis Martin) as the only teams to have a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000- yard receiver and a 1,000- yard rusher, with all three age 25 or under. "To be able to do those things has been really fun," Carr said. "It's been really cool, but it kind of just goes unnoticed when we're go- ing about our business, because, man, I could cor- rect that or I could fix that or I could be better here, I could do this better. So we don't really think about it, but it's been cool. "But I know myself and I know those guys, we want more. We want to do more." While many of Carr's numbers as a rookie were generated late in lopsided games, the Raiders have had the ball with the lead or deficit of seven points or less in the fourth quarter of the past 14 games. Carr leads the NFL with five TD passes that tied the game or gave the Raiders the lead in the fourth quar- ter. He's been very willing to throw balls into tight windows with the game on the line. "I would say it's a skill that he was born with," offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. "He def- initely is accurate. He's confident in his own abili- ties to stick it in those tight windows, and then he can anticipate, he can see those windows opening up be- fore they actually do." But that has also led to a league-worst five intercep- tions in the fourth quarter when Oakland was tied or within seven points. Reduc- ing those bad plays will be a major task this offseason. "I do take chances some- times," Carr said. "I do try and fit things in tight win- dows. Either it's going to turn out great or it's going to be their ball. I just have to be smarter there and put our team in a better situa- tion. I don't have to make every play. I don't have to do it all on my own." NOTES: S Charles Wood- son won the Craig Long Award for professionalism and collaboration with the media. ... CB D.J. Hayden (ankle) and CB Neiko Thorpe (neck) are the only players listed as question- able this week. Everyone else is probable or will play. Raiders FROM PAGE 1 years as a head coach. The Hawkeyes couldn't come back after Hogan hit McCaffrey with a TD pass down the middle just 11 seconds in. "Just like this game won't define this team, one play doesn't define a game," Ferentz said. "We had am- ple opportunity after that to play, but they played a tremendous game in all phases." The Cardinal had the highest-scoring first quar- ter and first half in the Rose Bowl's lengthy his- tory. After McCaffrey's opening TD, Hogan rushed for an 8-yard score and Quenton Meeks returned an interception 66 yards for another TD in the first 11 minutes. Iowa had never trailed by more than seven points at any point in its magi- cal season, which included the first 12-0 start in school history before a narrow loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten title game. The rout was really on after McCaffrey made his 63-yard TD return in the opening minute of the second, juking Iowa line- backer Josey Jewell on the way. Michael Rector caught two touchdown passes for Stanford. Rose FROM PAGE 1 Scoreboard Football NFL AMERICAN CONFERENCE WEST DIVISION W L T Pct PF PA x-Denver 11 4 0 .733 328 276 x-Kan.
