Saturday will be the ninth CFP with four teams. In the previous eight playoffs only three games have been decided by single digits.
2019-‘20 Clemson 29 Ohio State 23
2017-‘18 Georgia 54 Oklahoma 48 2OT
2014-‘15 Ohio State 42 Alabama 35
The other 13 semi-final games have been blowouts with an average margin of victory being 24.5.
It doesn’t make for the optimal TV ratings but most of the time these games are one-sided.
Four times in the 16 CFP games the underdog has won outright.
