In three weeks time, Dublin could join a select few teams that have won three All Ireland titles in a row.
But Mayo, of course, stand in the way and based on last year's final and replay, it will be a tight battle.
For Tyrone though, the performance and result in their semi final defeat to the Dubs raised plenty of questions, including about defensive systems and whether the "blanket defence" approach may have finally come to an end.
Former Mayo manager James Horan and ex-Tyrone footballer Enda McGinley joined us on Off The Ball to analyse the weekend's All Ireland semi final action and the sheer brilliance of a Dublin team on the cusp of creating more history had light shed on it.

Horan highlighted the peerless communication within the Dublin team and their ability to problem solve on the field.
"They're evolving all the time which is brilliant to see," he said.

"They're just a team at the top of their sport and the top of their game."
McGinley also emphasised Dublin's ability to adapt to almost any team or system whether it be the blanket defence or otherwise thanks to a wealth of options and at least 10 "top shooters" in comparison to other teams who rely on one or two of those type of players.
On Tyrone and the blanket defence in general, he also feels a turning point has arrived.
"Tyrone's performance yesterday just showed that in terms of the blanket defence, for me anyway, the era of the blanket defence sort of has to come to an end because it's not going to beat Dublin," he said, adding that Tyrone looked "lethargic" and that perhaps that may be a consequence of them having pushed themselves hard in their preparations to close the gap on Dublin.
And Horan continued, "It didn't matter what way Tyrone played yesterday, with the attitude that they had, with the lack of aggression and effort they had in that game, they were just off that way. So whatever they set up or played, if that they had that approach and that attitude, they were going nowhere and Dublin were going to put holes in them."
