CFP quarterfinal reactions: Ohio State blows out Oregon & Texas survives Arizona State

The CFP quarterfinals continue with big drama in one matchup and another blowout in the other—but it’s probably not the game you’re thinking of. Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Adam Breneman react to the thrilling, double-overtime victory for Texas vs. Arizona State and Ohio State’s total thrashing of Oregon.

Arizona State rallied behind the heroic efforts of Cam Skattebo to force overtime against Texas but fell just short of completing a comeback. The trio discuss the controversial non-targeting call in the final minutes of the game, the special teams woes for both teams, and what Texas needs to improve on before their next game in the CFP semifinals.

Despite being the no. 1 ranked team in the country, Oregon got completely blown out by Ohio State. With an offensive line that’s finally clicking, Will Howard playing like a DAWG, and some of the best receivers in the country on their side, the Buckeyes look to have a real shot at winning the national championship. 

To wrap, Caroline, Fitz & Adam name their 'Power House' and 'Power Outage' from these two games including the powerful momentum Arizona State will carry with them into next season and their disdain for the College Football Playoff first round byes.
