No. 1 Indiana will take on No. 9 Alabama in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, No. 3 Georgia will match up for the second time this season against No. 6 Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, and No. 4 Texas Tech will square off against No. 5 Oregon in the Orange Bowl in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Those squads will aim to join Miami in the playoff semifinals. The No. 10 Hurricanes knocked off No. 2 Ohio State, the reigning national champion, 24-14 in the Cotton Bowl on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
