Ohio State is headed to the CFP semifinals after blasting No. 1 Oregon 41-21 on Wednesday night in the Rose Bowl.

The calls for Ryan Day’s job have gone silent into the night, just like the playoff hopes of Oregon and Tennessee over the past two weeks against the Buckeyes. This time, Ohio State destroyed the Ducks 41-21 on the latest stop of its revenge tour. 
On Wednesday evening at the Rose Bowl, the Oregon Ducks barely had enough time to catch their breath from the first Buckeyes’ scoring drive to realize that they were going to be outmatched on offense, and once again, Ohio State knocked the rust off that performance against Michigan to close the regular season.

It’s a difficult line to walk when tragedy strikes, as it did early on Wednesday morning in New Orleans, Louisiana. A terrorist attack claimed the lives of at least 15 Americans, leaving many more injured. 
That led College Football Playoff officials to delay the CFP semifinal match at the Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame until Thursday.
Louisiana Attorney General, Liz Murrill, said she wants to see the powers that be delay the game further, pushing it back until Friday.

The Buckeyes overwhelmed the unbeaten Ducks in the first half, racing to a 34-0 lead, and never looked back in advancing to the Cotton Bowl.

One of the big questions heading into Week 18 of the NFL season was whether the Philadelphia Eagles, who have already clinched the No. 2 seed in the NFC, would play star running back Saquon Barkley to allow him to go for the single-season rushing record. 
Of course, playing Barkley in what is, essentially, a meaningless game for the Eagles, presents some risk. And the Philadelphia coaching staff made the decision that the risk wasn’t worth it.
Barkley reached the 2,000-yard mark for rushing yards in Sunday’s win over the Dallas Cowboys.

ATLANTA – The first five games of the 12-team College Football Playoff – all played in 2024 – provided as much intrigue as a mid-afternoon nap. Once the calendar switched to 2025, though, the script flipped in a big way.
