The 12-team College Football Playoff continues on New Year’s Eve when (6) Penn State faces (3) Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. The expanded format creates a more challenging path to the CFP title game, and the bracket will shrink from eight teams to four as we enter the new year.

New Year’s Day begins with (5) Texas facing (4) Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. Later in the day, (1) Oregon will face (8) Ohio State in a rematch of one of the best games of the 2024 season where the Ducks defeated the Buckeyes 32-31 on Oct. 12.

The final quarterfinal matchup will see (7) Notre Dame take on (2) Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. Notre Dame defeated Indiana in the first round, and the Irish have won its last 11 games since its stunning loss to Northern Illinois in Week 2.
