Happy New Year! We’re ringing in 2025 with a full day of College Football Playoff action.
We have three games on Wednesday after Penn State started the quarterback with a 31-14 win against Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Eve.
The expansion didn’t work out in the first round, but we have some tough matchups now as the remaining teams battle for a spot in the semifinals.
Follow all the action below (scroll for live updates).
Date: January 1 | Time: 1 pm ET | TV: ESPN | Line: Texas -12.5 | Total: 51.5
This is a fascinating matchup between two of the best offensive minds in college football. Kenny Dillingham orchestrated an offense that scored 53 TDs this season while Texas coach Steve Sarkisian will have a new look for Arizona State’s defense. This may be a game more about the strength of ASU’s defense than ASU’s offense.
Date: January 1 | Time: 5 pm ET | TV: ESPN | Line: Ohio State -2.5 | Total: 55.5
How loose is Ohio State? The Buckeyes looked like a completely different team against the Volunteers than they did against Michigan. Offensive statistics from the matchup between Ohio State and Oregon on Oct. 12 were almost identical. The biggest divide between the teams came in penalties and turnovers. Which team will come out on top in the playoffs?
Date: January 1 | Time: 8:45 pm ET | TV: ESPN | Line: Georgia -1.5 | Total: 44.5
No one will question how well Georgia coach Kirby Smart can motivate his team, especially in situations like this when he starts his quarterback injured and heads to the NFL. But how well can Georgia run the ball with Gunner Stockton in the game? We wouldn’t be surprised to see Georgia stick with its running game.
