College Football Playoff 2025 Predictions; Can Ohio State Repeat?
The College Football Playoff this season will make tons of money for the television networks and the schools, but will the games be competitive? The short answer to whether the College Football Playoff will be full of good games this year is no, though the games in the College Football Playoff will get better as the tournament goes on.
There are at least two interesting games in the first round of the CFP. In this article, all the games in the College Football Playoff are predicted. Do you plan on watching?
College Football Playoff Predictions
The first round of the College Football Playoff is intriguing, and two games will be competitive.
This game is fascinating. Alabama is the better team and is stacked at wide receiver. However, this game is in Norman, Oklahoma, and that should be an equalizer. This is a great way to start the College Football Playoff. It is predicted that the home-field advantage will not be enough for the Sooners, and Alabama will win this game on the road. The winner of this game will face No. 1 Indiana.
The next game will be good too, as the No. 7 Texas A&M hosts No. 10 Miami. It is likely the A&M defense will give Miami Quarterback Carson Beck trouble. Plus, this game is in College Station, so Texas A&M should win. The winner of his game plays the defending champion Ohio State Buckeyes.
On Saturday at 3:30 p.m., No. 6 Ole Miss hosts No. 10 Tulane. Ole Miss lost its coach, Lane Kiffin, to LSU. However, even with the turmoil, Ole Miss is too good for Tulane and will win. The winner of this game gets to play No. 3 Georgia.
The final game of the first round of the CFP will pit Cinderella No. 12 James Madison against powerhouse No. 5 Oregon. The game is in Eugene. As much as people will be pulling for James Madison, the Ducks are just too strong and will win this game by a large margin. They will face Texas Tech.
Quarterfinals Of the College Football Playoff
So, the first round of the CFP will set up the quarterfinals. Some teams earned a bye to this round, and that gives them a huge advantage, or should. Last year, all of these teams lost. These games will take place on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
The first Game of the quarterfinal round of the College Football Playoff will have the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes facing the No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies in the Cotton Bowl. This game will be in Texas A&M’s backyard; however, Ohio State’s defense is too good. The Buckeyes will win.
The next game will be at 12:00 p.m. on New Year’s Day. It will be a 4/5 matchup of Texas Tech taking on Oregon in the Orange Bowl. The pick here is Oregon. They are just too good and could win the whole thing. The Ducks will advance to the semifinals.
The next game of the quarterfinals will be at 4 p.m., and the top-seeded Indiana will face Alabama in the Rose Bowl. This will be a competitive game, but the Hoosiers will win.
The nightcap will be No. 3 Georgia against No. 6 6 Ole Miss. The run for the coachless Rebels will end here as the SEC rematch will result in a Georgia win.
In the first semifinal on January 8 in the Fiesta Bowl, Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day will get his revenge. Ohio State will defeat Georgia. In the other semifinal in the Peach Bowl on January 9, Oregon will end the Hoosier run. This is a mild upset.
Those semifinal matches set up a final on January 19 of Ohio State against Oregon. Ohio State beat Oregon last year and will do so again. The Buckeyes of Ohio State will repeat as national champions.
Conclusion
The College Football Playoff promises to have some very compelling games and to make lots of money. So much money, in fact, that there will likely be more teams and games soon.
