The 2025 College Football Playoff rolls on with the national semifinals starting on Thursday. The Fiesta Bowl kicks off on Thursday evening with the Peach Bowl following on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only four teams remain after two rounds of the CFP, including just one team that received a first-round bye. No. 10 Miami enters the Fiesta Bowl after pulling off a massive upset against No. 2 Ohio State, but the Hurricanes get a tough battle against No. 6 Ole Miss, fresh off a win against No. 3 Georgia. No. 1 Indiana throttled No. 9 Alabama and now gets a rematch against upset-minded No. 5 Oregon in a rematch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The semifinals features several of the most exciting quarterbacks in the nation. Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza leads the Hoosiers, while Miami’s Carson Beck was a multi-year star at Georgia. Ole Miss’s Trinidad Chambliss is one of the breakout stars of the postseason, and Oregon’s Dante Moore could be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The winners of these games will advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship in Miami on Jan. 19. Miami is the only one of the four remaining programs to ever win an AP national championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
