Alamo Bowl: Texas Longhorns (-3.5) vs. Washington Huskies
Par for the course in recent history, Texas stumbled through another season of what-ifs.
A one-point loss to then-No. 1 Alabama. One-score losses to No. 3 TCU and then-No. 11 Oklahoma State.

To avoid embarrassment in Steve Sarkisian's second year at the helm, Texas will have to defeat a Washington squad that hasn't lost since Oct. 8. The Huskies have also put up 50-plus points in consecutive games.
Gator Bowl: Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-2.5) vs. South Carolina Gamecocks
Notre Dame has some great wins (Clemson, BYU) and some horrid losses (Marshall, Stanford). Now it walks into a Gator Bowl matchup against a team playing with its hair on fire.
South Carolina slammed the door on Tennessee's playoff hopes last month in a 63-38 win, and the Gamecocks followed that up by ending Clemson's CFP dreams a week later.
Let's run that back.

It's been a trying year for Oklahoma transfer Spencer Rattler, but he's led the Gamecocks to greatness in his past two starts with 798 passing yards and nine total TDs.

Fiesta Bowl: TCU Horned Frogs vs. Michigan Wolverines (-8)
An overtime loss in the Big 12 championship game didn't end TCU's title chances, but it certainly cast some doubt on the team's Cinderella-esque run. At 25.0 points allowed per game, TCU has the worst scoring defence among the CFP contenders — by a mile.
Michigan hasn't finished a season unblemished in this millennium, and it only has one bowl win under Jim Harbaugh's tutelage (Citrus Bowl, 2015).
Dominant wins over Ohio State and Purdue to conclude the season should buoy the Maize and Blue's confidence, though. Eleven of the Wolverines' 13 wins came by multiple scores.
Peach Bowl: Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Georgia Bulldogs (-7)
The Buckeyes were the No. 4 seed en route to winning the inaugural CFP, and they're hoping for a similar story this time.
Georgia, the reigning champion, lost several key contributors on both sides of the ball last offseason. But that didn't stop the Bulldogs from building the second-ranked scoring defence (12.8 points allowed/game) or rolling out a Heisman finalist quarterback.

As Ohio State aims to prove that its blowout loss to Michigan was a fluke, Georgia will try to go back-to-back with several new faces in uniform.
Rose Bowl: Penn St. Nittany Lions vs. Utah Utes (-2.5)
If we could fast-forward a couple of years to have a 12-team CFP format, Utah would probably be a trendy pick to make a deep run.
The Utes upset USC in the Pac-12 championship, derailing the Trojans' playoff hopes and earning their second Rose Bowl invite in as many seasons.
Utah's lead tailback Tavion Thomas has declared for the NFL Draft, which complicates matters a bit. On the other side sits a Penn State team that lost its two biggest games this year by a combined 37 points.
