The inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff bracket is down to an impressive group of four title contenders.
Penn State, Notre Dame and Ohio State won their quarterfinal matchups in dominant fashion, and Texas escaped with a victory over Arizona State in a double-overtime thriller. The top four seeds (Oregon, Georgia, Boise State and Arizona State) have already been eliminated, adding a layer of unpredictability to this year’s championship chase.
Now, the semifinal stage is set. The Longhorns will face the Buckeyes in the Cotton Bowl, while the Nittany Lions will meet the Fighting Irish in the Orange Bowl.
Here is everything you need to know about the College Football Playoff schedule, including TV and streaming options for semifinal games.
