The new College Football Playoff bracket rolls along next week with the quarterfinal round. New Year’s Six bowl sites will play host, and the updated ticket prices have been revealed.

According to Ticketmaster, the most expensive CFP quarterfinal is the Rose Bowl, which will see No. 1 seed Oregon take on No. 8 seed Ohio State. The get-in price for that matchup is $228, coming in as the only game with a get-in price above $200.

The get-in price for the Fiesta Bowl between No. 3 seed Boise State and No. 6 seed Penn State is $172, and the cheapest ticket for the Sugar Bowl featuring No. 2 seed Georgia vs. No. 7 seed Notre Dame is $115 as of Thursday afternoon. The Peach Bowl is the cheapest of the CFP quarterfinal games with a get-in price of $49.

Last week marked the first round of the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket, each game taking place at a campus site. It was a historic moment for the CFP, and the TV ratings were impressive despite going up against the NFL for two games Dec. 21.

Notre Dame and Indiana got things started in a Friday night matchup in South Bend, and that game came in as the second-most watched first-round game with 13.4 million viewers on ABC and ESPN. Ohio State’s resounding win over Tennessee was the top game of the opening around, garnering 14.3 million viewers.

TNT also had two games as part of a new, five-year sublicense agreement with ESPN. The network carried two games – Clemson at Texas and SMU at Penn State. The Longhorns’ win over the Tigers drew 8.6 million viewers while the Nittany Lions’ victory over the Mustangs averaged 6.4 million viewers.

TNT’s doubleheader went directly against the NFL, which made for a tough road to ratings success. The two NFL games, as widely expected, had higher ratings. Steelers vs. Ravens averaged 15.4 million viewers on FOX and Chiefs vs. Texans brought in 15.5 million.

Now, it’s on to the College Football playoff quarterfinals. The first matchup will be on New Year’s Eve as Penn State and Boise State squaring off in the Fiesta Bowl. Three games will follow on New Year’s Day, starting with the Peach Bowl between Arizona State and Texas.
