Welcome to the College Football Playoff semifinals.
Four teams will take the field in the Fiesta Bowl and the Peach Bowl with a spot in the 2026 College Football Playoff National Championship on the line.
It all starts Thursday night when the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes and No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels meet in Phoenix, Arizona, for the Fiesta Bowl semifinal.
Then, it rolls on Friday night, as the No. 5 Oregon Ducks take on the top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers in a rematch from regular-season Big Ten play in the Peach Bowl.
I broke down both CFP semifinal games and came through with multiple picks for each.
With that said, let's take a look at my College Football Playoff picks and NCAAF predictions for the CFP semifinal games on Thursday, Jan. 8, and Friday, Jan. 9.
