NCAAF Final !! Alabama Crimson Tide vs Ohio State Buckeyes Live Stream Free On Reddit: Watch 2021 CFP Final NCAA College Football Streams 01 Alabama v 3 Ohio State online stream anywhere
Only one game remains in the 2020 college football season: No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 3 Ohio State.
It’s only fitting that, in this upside season affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rose Bowl champion Crimson Tide and Sugar Bowl champion Buckeyes should meet in Miami to decide the sport’s national champion. Apart from the peculiarities of Monday’s meeting, however, there are plenty of storylines to watch in the final game of the year.

First and foremost is the reported COVID-19 outbreak in Ohio State’s locker room. The Buckeyes were already without 16 players in their Sugar Bowl romp over the Tigers, but it’s uncertain how many — if any — players must miss the game against Alabama. That’s assuming, of course, the game isn’t postponed to a later date.
Otherwise, it seems as if the big question regarding Monday’s national title game is which of the two offenses can outperform the other. Justin Fields is sporting what appears to be bruised ribs, at least, from a targeting hit by Clemson linebacker James Skalski. The advent of Trey Sermon, who has a combined 589 yards from scrimmage in his last two outings, certainly helps the Buckeyes’ title game hopes.
Story Line
Then there’s Alabama, whose offense features a potent triumvirate of quarterback Mac Jones, receiver DeVonta Smith and running back Najee Harris. That combo is fearsome enough as is, but there are rumors receiver Jaylen Waddle, who broke his ankle in the Tennessee game, can return to play as well.
With that, here’s everything you need to watch Alabama vs. Ohio State in the College Football Playoff championship game, including TV channel, kickoff time, location and updated betting odds.

What to expect from the National Championship Game
Teams: Alabama (1) vs. Ohio State (3)
Time: Monday, January 11, 2021 [8:00 PM Eastern Time (U.S)]
Channel: ESPN
We’re used to seeing Nick Saban’s Alabama teams perform like juggernauts, and this year has been no exception. The Crimson Tide have averaged 48.2 points per game this season while conceding 19, and they dismantled Notre Dame on New Year’s Day. This is a group to be feared, in part due to its trio of quarterback Mac Jones, wide receiver—and Heisman favorite—DeVonta Smith, and running back Najee Harris.
They aren’t hurting for defensive stars, either. They will make the Buckeyes’ lives miserable on that side of the ball thanks to shutdown corner Patrick Surtain II and the pass rushing duo of Will Anderson Jr. and Christian Barmore. This is a complete team, and worthy title favorite.
However, that doesn’t mean the Buckeyes don’t have a chance. They should provide far more resistance than the Fighting Irish largely due to their dynamic offense. Quarterback Justin Fields is a star at this level, and may yet become an NFL star. He showed why against Clemson, outdueling Trevor Lawrence with a six-touchdown performance.
He’s got a strong offensive infrastructure to support him, too. His wide receiver pair of Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson is elite and Trey Sermon is more than capable of moving the ball on the ground.
While Ohio State should be able to put up a respectable score, the team’s biggest issue will be stopping Alabama’s offense. Clemson moved the ball well against them in the CFB semifinal and ‘Bama has a lot more firepower.

Joe Burrow delivered the single greatest individual season ever last year, throwing for an absurd 60 touchdowns and leading 15-0 LSU to the national title. With Burrow off to the NFL, Alabama’s DeVonta Smith seems the likeliest candidate to capture the stiff-arm trophy, especially after monster performances in the SEC championship game and the College Football Playoff Semi Final.
Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence was a preseason favorite, but a COVID-19 diagnosis cost him two games. Mac Jones of Alabama is another quarterback to watch, as is Florida’s Kyle Trask.
Will it be Smith? Jones? Trask? Or a left-field contender? Leave your predictions in the comments below, and be sure to contact the ExpressVPN Support Team by live chat if you have any questions!
