Top-ranked Alabama beat Number 3 Ohio State 52-24 Monday night to win the College Football Playoff national championship for the sixth time in the last 12 years.

The victory gave Alabama coach Nick Saban his seventh career national title, breaking a tie with another Alabama great, Paul “Bar” Bryant, for most by a major college coach.

Heisman Trophy-winning wide receiver Devonta Smith had 12 catches for 215 yards and three touchdowns, all in the first half.

Quarterback Mac Jones was 36 for 45 for a CFP championship-record 464 yards and five touchdowns. A reduced capacity crowd of 15,000 was allowed at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
