Fiesta Bowl

Penn State vs. Boise State
Tues., Dec. 31 | 7:30 p.m. | ESPN

Penn State made a statement in a rout against SMU at home in the first round game, inspired by a defensive effort that returned two interceptions for touchdowns.

Now, the Broncos and Heisman finalist Ashton Jeanty await the Nittany Lions in the desert to test PSU’s strong run stop.

Line: Penn State -10.5

-

Peach Bowl

Texas vs. Arizona State
Wed., Jan. 1 | 1 p.m. | ESPN

Quinn Ewers had a hot start and then the Longhorns’ run game took over, fielding two 100-yard rushers in a 38-24 victory against Clemson at home in the first round.

That sets up a quarterfinal meeting with the Big 12 champion Sun Devils and tailback Cam Skattebo, who has 1,568 yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground this season.

Line: Texas -13.5

-

Rose Bowl

Oregon vs. Ohio State
Wed., Jan. 1 | 5 p.m. | ESPN

The mood seemed dour in Columbus after the loss to Michigan, and then with news that Tennessee fans were apparently about to take over the Horseshoe, but the Buckeyes made the statement of the weekend by smashing one of the SEC’s best teams.

That sets up a rematch with the Big Ten champion Ducks, who beat OSU by a point back in October, and who boast one of college football’s most efficient and dynamic offenses.

Line: Ohio State -2.5

-

Sugar Bowl

Georgia vs. Notre Dame
Wed., Jan. 1 | 8:45 p.m. | ESPN

Notre Dame opened a big lead on Big Ten challenger Indiana in the first round, with Jeremiyah Love scoring a 98-yard touchdown, the longest score in College Football Playoff history, and then leaned on its defense to carry the way.

And that defense could find an angle against a Georgia offense that almost certainly won’t have starting quarterback Carson Beck as he considers surgery for his injured elbow, leaving the inexperienced Gunner Stockton under center to take on the Irish.

Line: Georgia -2.5
