The No. 5 Oregon Ducks defeated James Madison 51-34 during last weekend’s first round College Football Playoff game to earn their spot in this week’s Orange Bowl, where they’ll face No. 4 Texas Tech. The game, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL, is one of the more even matchups of the CFP quarterfinals, though some analysts are predicting a Red Raiders win.
The Orange Bowl game is the first of three major New Year’s Day bowl games airing on ESPN and will stream on ESPN Unlimited. You can catch the Rose Bowl game between Indiana and Alabama at 4:00 p.m. ET, and the Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Ole Miss at 8:00 p.m. ET. Here’s how to watch the Orange Bowl when it airs this Thursday, and take a look at the complete schedule of this week’s playoff and bowl games below.
