How to watch the Georgia Bulldogs and Oklahoma Sooners in the National Championship Playoff, plus betting lines, parade info and more.

The Georgia Bulldogs will try to leap the final hurdle between themselves and a shot at their first National Championship since 1980 on New Year's Day.

The No. 2 Bulldogs face No. 3 Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl in a college football National Championship Playoff game. The winner between Georgia (12-1) and the 12-1 Sooners will face either No. 1 Clemson or No. 4 Alabama in the National Championship Game — at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday, Jan. 8.

Led by Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield at quarterback, the Sooners will bring a high-octane offense up against Georgia's vaunted defense, led by Butkus Award winner Roquan Smith. UGA will counter with an offense led by dual-threat running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel and helmed by freshman Jake Fromm.
