College playoffs looks for good matchups after snoozy first round of blowouts

Associated Press  

For those who dozed through it, or flipped to more compelling fare in the NFL, here’s a brief recap of the rollout of the much-anticipated College Football Playoff. One part that did feel like a success was that the stands were full in all four stadiums — at Texas, Notre Dame, Penn State and Ohio State. “I think college football got this one right,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said after the Longhorns beat Clemson 38-24 in front of a packed house in what turned out to be the weekend’s most compelling game. But do we really want a rematch of possibly the best game in college football this season — Oregon’s 32-31 win over Ohio State in October — in the quarterfinals? “It’s not just a bowl game where we’re going to go be merry and have a Merry Christmas and exchange gifts and do all of that,” the coach explained.
