The 2016 College Football Playoff is here, and while everyone is concerned with who will win the games, a large segment of college football fans are equally curious which teams will cover the spread on Saturday in the Peach Bowl (3 p.m. ET, ESPN) and Fiesta Bowl (7 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Peach Bowl: No. 1 Alabama (-15.5) vs. No. 4 Washington: Will Alabama advance to its second straight national title game with another dominant win in a CFP Semifinal, or can Washington either keep it close or pull off the upset?
Fiesta Bowl: No. 2 Clemson vs. No. 3 Ohio State (-3.5): Will Clemson ensure there's a rematch of last year's championship game, or can Ohio State succeed as a favorite and play for the title for the second time in three seasons?
Let's not waste any more time getting to it. Here is how our nine CBS Sports experts think each game will go, both against the spread and straight up.
