Miami and Ole Miss both upset higher seeds to reach the semifinals of the College Football Playoff. No. 10 Miami knocked off the defending champs in No. 1 Ohio State, and their win was no fluke — I say that as a lifelong Buckeyes fan. Miami dominated both sides of the line, pushing Ohio State around to run the ball with great effectiveness on offensive and disrupt the Buckeye passing attack on defense. Edge rushers Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor, in particular, were terrors.
No. 6 Ole Miss didn’t let the absence (betrayal?) of its head coach jetting off to LSU for a bigger payday right before the tournament began stop them from taking out No. 3 Georgia in the last round. They find themselves the underdogs again tonight. Despite being the lower seed, Miami is a 3-point favorite heading into the game tonight.
The Fiesta Bowl will host this CFP semifinal matchup between Miami and Ole Miss at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals. The winner will advance to face either Indiana or Oregon in the College Football Playoff national championship on Jan. 19.
Miami and Ole Miss kick off tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT) on ESPN. Keep reading to see the best options for watching or streaming the game.
