2016 Peach Bowl Playoff semifinal
Alabama vs Washington Live, Stream, Online There’s no question that the
2016 Peach Bowl will be the most important edition of the New Year’s
Eve mainstay in its history.The Peach Bowl has been frequently contested
on New Year’s Eve for most of its existence, and has most often matched
second-tier teams from the ACC and SEC for a primetime clash in
Atlanta. But with the introduction of the College Football Playoff, the
Peach Bowl has soared in prestige, now sitting on a plateau with the
more esteemed bowls in the New Year’s Six.Peach Bowl 2016 Live

Last year’s Peach Bowl 2016 Live was its
second as a member of that elite club, and maybe the most momentous
Peach Bowl in history, as upstart Houston upset ACC runner-up Florida
State in stunning fashion after entering the game as a touchdown
underdog.
Still, the Peach Bowl has never featured a
top-five team before. In 2016, the Peach Bowl will have two. Alabama’s
No. 1 overall, of course, and a Penn State-Washington-Michigan debate
over the No. 4 seed doesn’t deny that any of those teams is elite. This
should be fun. Alabama, by virtue of being the top seed in the Playoff,
gets the short drive to Atlanta for what might feel like a home game.
