The No. 5 Oregon Ducks defeated James Madison 51-34 during last weekend's first round College Football Playoff game to earn their spot in this week's Orange Bowl, where they'll face No. 4 Texas Tech. The game, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL, is one of the more even matchups of the CFP quarterfinals, though some analysts are predicting a Red Raiders win.
