The College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Orange Bowl between Oklahoma and Alabama has the potential to be a thrilling game.

The clash between the nation's No. 1 and No. 4 teams features the top two Heisman candidates from this season — Oklahoma's Kyler Murray and Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa. Murray walked away with the award on Saturday night, but all eyes will be on this game to see the fireworks from both players. The Crimson Tide currently sit as a 14-point favorite, but Murray and the Sooners have proven that they can score with any team in the country.

Even with Murray's ability on offense, the unreliable Oklahoma defense will have some people hesitant to pick against Alabama in this one. So, what about non-humans? Well, one prickly creature from the Miami Zoo made a pick on Monday goes against the grain. In a promo for the game, the zoo had Pierce the Porcupine make a selection on the playoff semifinal by putting a bowl of food behind both an Alabama and an Oklahoma helmet. After being let out of his cage, Pierce waddled up to the Oklahoma helmet and began chowing down. It looks like Pierce believes in Oklahoma's elite firepower on offense.

The Sooners and the Crimson Tide kick off from Hard Rock Stadium at 8:00 p.m. EST on Dec. 29. The winner gets to go to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game at Levi's Stadium.
