Texas vs. Arizona State score, live scores, highlights: College Football Playoff quarterfinals at the Peach Bowl

Posted on by Amelia Pressman

We’re ringing in 2025 with two College Football Playoff games.

Penn State started its quarterfinals with a 31-14 win over Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Eve. With the Peach Bowl and the Rose Bowl on Wednesday, two more semifinal spots are up for grabs.

The final game of the quarterfinals — the Sugar Bowl showdown between Georgia and Notre Dame — was postponed until Thursday after a terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans in the early hours of Jan. 1 left 15 people dead and dozens more injured became.

Follow Wednesday’s game action below (scroll for live updates).

Date: January 1st | Time: 1pm ET | TV: ESPN | Line: Texas -12.5 | Overall: 51.5

This is a fascinating matchup between two of the most creative offensive minds in college football. Kenny Dillingham has masterminded an offense that has scored 53 touchdowns this season, while Texas coach Steve Sarkisian will certainly have a few new looks for Arizona State’s defense. This game may be much more about the tenacity of the ASU defense than the ASU offense.

Date: January 1st | Time: 5:00 p.m. ET | TV: ESPN | Line: Ohio State -2.5 | Overall: 55.5

How relaxed is Ohio State? The Buckeyes looked like a completely different team against the Volunteers than they did against Michigan. The offensive stats from the October 12 matchup between Ohio State and Oregon were nearly identical. The big difference between the teams came from penalties and ball losses. Which team will emerge victorious in the second leg?
