The 2024-25 College Football Playoff bracket is set. Now the only thing left is to play the games and decide a national champion. The action commences on Friday night when (7) Notre Dame hosts (10) Indiana in what will be the initial first-round game in the history of the event.

A berth in the Sugar Bowl quarter final is on the line as Indiana and Notre Dame begin the 12-team College Football Playoff era.

It took more than 100 years, a few billion dollars and the cold, hard realization that you can’t fight progress forever. And now, finally, college football has what the rest of sports have — a legitimate postseason tournament.
