Indiana Football's Fernando Mendoza, Oregon's Dante Moore Talk Rematch
The Peach Bowl semifinal features two top NFL quarterback prospects, with Indiana favored by SportsLine's model after a dominant Rose Bowl win.
- On Friday, January 9, 2026, the Peach Bowl at Mercedes‑Benz Stadium kicks off with Indiana Hoosiers vs. Oregon Ducks at 7:30 p.m., deciding the CFP finalist.
- Indiana previously beat Oregon 30-20 in Eugene, handing the Ducks their only loss, and the Hoosiers enter hot after an undefeated season and a 38-3 Rose Bowl win over Alabama.

- Moore's youth and Mendoza's draft silence shape pregame narratives as Oregon leans on Noah Whittington and Dierre Hill Jr. against Indiana's front allowing just 73.7 rushing yards per game.
