Richard Johnson and Alex Kirshner preview the College Football Playoff quarterfinal games in order:

  • Penn State vs. Boise State, where everyone is skeptical of an upset

  • Texas vs. Arizona State, where the Sun Devils have a path but it’s narrow against a dominant Texas defense

  • Ohio State vs. Oregon, which looks like CFB’s game of the year

  • Notre Dame vs. Georgia, where SZD picks a narrow upset

Plus: Washington State hires a coach, and we’ve got notes on a big collection of December bowl games, from TCU optimism to Pat Narduzzi’s utterly ridiculous field goal decision in the GameAbove Sports Bowl. (Note: That field goal came at the end of the second overtime, making it even worse than Alex said.)
