College Football Playoff semifinal schedule, matchups, odds: Ohio State is now the favorite

The semifinals of the 12-team College Football Playoff are set, and no conference champions remain.

All four of the teams still alive in the playoff hosted games in the first round of the playoff. And all four have been favored in their first two games. Favorites are 8-0 straight-up so far this postseason and are 7-1 against the spread. The only underdog to cover the point spread through the first eight games of the playoff is No. 4 Arizona State in its 39-31 double-overtime loss to Texas in the Peach Bowl on Wednesday.

Here’s an early look at the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl, as the final four teams will play for the chance to be in the national championship game on Jan. 20 in Atlanta.
