Today's College Football Playoff quarterfinals promise thrilling matchups as teams vie for a spot in the semifinals. Here's a preview of the games on 92.9 FM ESPN.
Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: Texas vs. Arizona State
The Texas Longhorns face the Arizona State Sun Devils in a highly anticipated showdown. Arizona State, led by head coach Ken Dillingham, has exceeded expectations this season, earning a spot in the playoffs. Dillingham's offensive acumen has been instrumental in the Sun Devils' success, with running back Cam Skattebo playing a pivotal role in their dynamic offense. Despite being 12.5-point underdogs, Arizona State's innovative strategies could challenge Texas's defense.
Rose Bowl: Ohio State vs. Oregon
In a rematch of their regular-season thriller, the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Oregon Ducks. The previous encounter was closely contested, with Oregon narrowly edging out Ohio State. The Buckeyes, under head coach Ryan Day, are eager to avenge that loss and advance in the playoffs. Both teams boast potent offenses and resilient defenses, setting the stage for a compelling battle in Pasadena.
Sugar Bowl: Notre Dame vs. Georgia
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish meet the Georgia Bulldogs in a marquee matchup in New Orleans. Security will certainly be one heavy consideration for the game and around New Orleans after a truck slammed into a crowd early Wednesday morning reportedly killing 10 and injuring 35 people.
As far as the game, Notre Dame has historically faced challenges against SEC powerhouses but enters this game with confidence. Georgia, dealing with injuries at the quarterback position, will rely on backup Gunner Stockton to lead the offense. The Bulldogs' formidable defense will be tested by Notre Dame's balanced attack. The winner of this game advances to the Orange Bowl semifinals, adding significant stakes to this encounter.
