The second year of the 12-team College Football Playoff has delivered what many hoped it would: a fresh set of programs within two wins of a national championship. No. 1 Indiana, No. 5 Oregon, No. 6 Mississippi and No. 10 Miami boast just a single CFP semifinal appearance between them previously, making for a pair of matchups that will be filled with desperation and desire.
The question, however, is if the quarterfinal upsets will lead to less excitement across the final three games. Everyone loves a Cinderella team in the NCAA basketball tournaments until the Final Four is a dud.
