First up, we have the Cotton Bowl featuring Miami and Ohio State. Ohio State is the clear favorite here, with odds of +190. The game's total is set at 40. 5, which is a bit low, but both teams have strong defenses. Miami's offense has struggled lately, and they'll be facing a tough Ohio State defense. The pick here is Ohio State to advance.
Next, we have the Orange Bowl with Oregon and Texas Tech. This game is expected to be high-scoring, with a total of 51. 5. Oregon's offense is potent, but Texas Tech's defense is no joke. The pick here is Oregon to advance. The Rose Bowl features Alabama and Indiana. Indiana is the favorite here, with odds of -7. Alabama's running game has been struggling, and that could be a problem against Indiana's strong defense. The pick here is Indiana to advance. Lastly, the Sugar Bowl has Ole Miss and Georgia. Georgia is the favorite here, with odds of -6. 5. Ole Miss has a chance to avenge their earlier loss to Georgia, but Georgia's defense has been playing well lately.
