Ahead of ESPN's broadcast of the first College Football Playoff semifinal game, its College GameDay crew was on site at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida for No. 6 seed Penn State's matchup against No.

There has been a ton of time for fans and analysts to make their predictions over the past week, and in the end, it's looking almost like a toss up between the Fighting Irish and Nittany Lions, with Penn State closing as a slight favorite in the game.

The Nittany Lions are a win away from the national title game. The No. 7 Fighting Irish will play Penn State in the Orange Bowl after beating the No. 2 Bulldogs, 23-10. Gunner Stockton will make his first start for the Bulldogs.
