The No. 8 seed Ohio State Buckeyes will take on the No. 1 seed Oregon Ducks in the latest annual installment of the "Granddaddy of them all" in the Rose Bowl Game on New Year's Day at 5 p.m. ET. The College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup is a rematch of the regular season conference thriller in Eugene, that the Ducks narrowly escaped with a one-point victory over the Buckeyes.
While that was a consequential conference tilt, this matchup holds even more meaning, with the winner advancing to the College Football Playoff semifinal on Jan. 10 in the Cotton Bowl. The opponent will be the winner of New Year's Day's Peach Bowl matchup between No. 5 seed Texas and No. 4 seed Arizona State.
