CFP Quarterfinal Picks: OSU-Miami, Oregon-TTU, Indiana vs Bama & Ole Miss-UGA | JACFB Podcast

The playoff heat is 🔥. On this special CFP Quarterfinal Prediction Episode of Just Another College Football Podcast, we break down every major matchup, recap what’s already happened in the bowl season, and project who will take the next step toward the national title.

Ohio State vs. Miami — In the Cotton Bowl Classic, the Buckeyes’ first quarterfinal showdown is history in the making. Ohio State, with a dominant defense and Heisman-caliber offense, is favored to defeat Miami and move into the CFP semifinals. Miami’s defense has been formidable all season, but protecting their QB and containing Ohio State’s balanced attack will be key. 

Texas Tech vs. Oregon (Orange Bowl) — This is arguably the week’s biggest test for both programs. Oregon arrives battle-tested after a convincing win and ranks as a CFP quarterfinal threat. Texas Tech’s defense and explosive timing could flip the narrative, but Oregon’s edge in experience and depth makes this one a thriller prediction. 

Indiana vs. Alabama (Rose Bowl) — The Hoosiers sit as the No. 1 seed after an historic season, Big Ten title, and Heisman production, positioning them to upset Alabama in Pasadena and punch their ticket to the semifinals. Indiana’s balance and momentum give them an edge in this legendary bowl setting.

Ole Miss vs. Georgia (Sugar Bowl) — A rematch with instant rivalry vibes. Georgia enters in peak form, but Ole Miss’s playmakers and bowl season confidence give them an upset window in New Orleans.

We cover the bowl season recap, what these quarterfinals mean for the CFP landscape, and share best bets, angles, and bold picks. Plus, we dive into a major coaching news story — Kyle Whittingham’s hiring at Michigan, which has huge implications for College Football programs’ direction moving forward.
