The college football season may be winding down with the end of the bowl season nearing, but the matchups we've all been waiting for will take place over the next two weeks.
The first College Football Playoff game features Oregon facing Florida State in the Rose bowl. Oregon is a 9-point favorite over the Noles, according to Odds Shark. This is Florida State's first game as an underdog since Sept. 24, 2011, as the defending BCS champs have never lost since Jameis Winston took over as the starting QB in 2013.
Alabama vs. Ohio State makes up the second half of the national semifinal in the Sugar Bowl. The Crimson Tide are also 9-point favorites over the upstart Buckeyes, who are now on their third starting QB this year.
Other New Year's Day games include Auburn (-6.5) vs. Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl, Michigan State (+2.5) vs. Baylor in the Cotton Bowl Classic, and Missouri (-4.5) vs. Minnesota in the Citrus Bowl.
As for New Year's Eve games, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl between Oles Miss and TCU kicks off with the Horned Frogs are a 3.5-point favorite. Arizona (-3) takes on Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, and the day ends with Georgia Tech (+7) taking on Mississippi State.
