When the seeding for the 2025 College Football Playoffs were set, Ohio State was slotted for the Cotton Bowl Classic in Dallas to avoid a potential Home Game in the Orange Bowl for the Miami Hurricanes. The flip side of that is that if Texas A&M were to advance, they would have an in-state game and likely dominate AT&T Stadium.
Well, after Miami defeated A&M, it set up for a game between two teams that no one has a geopgraphical advantage.
It is truly the way that it should be, and this will be a fair, neutral site game. However, this ticket has already plummeted and will likely be the least expensive ticket out of all four of the quarterfinal games.
As it sits right now, the get in prices for each of the games are as follows:
- Georgia vs. Ole Miss Sugar Bowl: $250
- Indiana vs. Alabama Rose Bowl: $156
- Ohio State vs. Miami Cotton Bowl: $81
- Texas Tech vs. Oregon Orange Bowl: $71
Get-in prices for the Cotton Bowl have now dipped below $80, fees included. Prices have entered the “why not?” range for people in DFW who have nothing else to do and might as well go see a CFP game between two name-brand programs. https://t.co/tjHi0FYDcl

Ole Miss is going to be fighting a real uphill battle at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in Atlanta this week. That Sugar Bowl is going to feel very much like a home game for the Georgia Bulldogs. Not only do the Rebels not have as good a team as the 'Dogs, but they also don't have their head coach, and they are playing a virtual road game.
The only complaint about the Rose Bowl this year is that Indiana and Alabama have the same colors, because this game will have two fan bases that rarely get the opportunity to play in the most prestigious postseason game in all of College Football.
Both of those fanbases will travel in droves to Pasadena, and the environment will be incredible, as it always is for the highly-acclaimed bowl game. One of the best scenes in the sport is when two teams with different colors contrast, but this year, the Rose Bowl will be decked out in Crimson.
The two games at the bottom of the list will not be the best postseason environments we have ever seen. The Buckeyes' game in Texas is likely to feel more like a home game for Ohio State than anything else. Buckeye fans travel better than any other fanbase in America, and the cost of the ticket is going to continue to drop. This is a bummer for a game that features two of the blue blood brands in the history of College Football.
I'm not sure what to expect in the Orange Bowl between Texas Tech and Oregon. A trip to Miami, FL, is probably enticing for many folks in the upper northwest, but with the chance that they have to return to Miami in a couple of weeks, that's asking a lot of the fanbase. The same goes for Texas Tech.
The environments will be different for each game, but the play on the field should be incredible. Each of these four football games should be very, very good, and it is setting up for an incredible couple of days of quarterfinals football.
