"A rematch of one of the most contentious national title games of the 2000s (Miami-Ohio State). A rematch of a fun October track meet (Georgia-Ole Miss). A battle between new-ish money (Oregon) and new money (Texas Tech). A classic matchup between a proven, unbeaten powerhouse (Indiana) and a scrappy close-game-winning underdog (Alabama, somehow). The quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff kick off Wednesday evening in Arlington, Texas, and they feature something for everyone."
"We had two minor upsets in the first round, with two road teams (Miami and Alabama) advancing for the first time. But the overall title odds didn't change all that much from an SP+ perspective. Ohio State and Indiana still lead the way, and the Texas Tech-Oregon winner will be the No. 3 favorite, barring an upset in Arlington or Pasadena."
