College Football Playoff Series: Quarterfinal Schedule, Results, TV

The first night of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals belonged to Penn State.

The Nittany Lions became the first team to make it to the CFP version of a Final Four, largely keeping Boise State and star running back Ashton Jeanty at bay with a 31-14 win in the Fiesta Bowl on Tuesday night. Three other teams are scheduled to join Penn State in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff on Wednesday.

No. 4 seed Arizona State and No. 5 seed Texas kick off in the Peach Bowl, followed by No. 1 seed Oregon against No. 8 seed Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. The winners of those two games will face off in the Cotton Bowl next week. No. 2 seed Georgia and No. 7 seed Notre Dame will continue to cap off a New Year’s Day filled with high-stakes football with a quarterfinal game in the Sugar Bowl. An Orange Bowl berth against Penn State is on the line when the Bulldogs and Fighting Irish play.

The stage is set for some dramatic postseason moments as college football’s first 12-team playoffs continue toward the national championship game. Here’s everything you need to know about the current state of the tournament, including a full CFP schedule, updated results and how to watch what we hope are exciting games:
