Oregon, Indiana Prepare for CFP Semifinal Rematch at Peach Bowl

The Indiana Hoosiers and Oregon Ducks will meet again in the College Football Playoff Final Four after their first matchup in October tested Indiana's program strength.

  • Friday, Indiana Hoosiers and Oregon Ducks play a College Football Playoff semifinal at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
  • When the teams met in October, the game tested whether Indiana Hoosiers' program trajectory was a one-year wonder or sustained success, head coach Curt Cignetti said.
  • Both teams average over 200 yards per game and run more than 50 percent of plays, while coaches note Oregon defensive traits like interior play, pass rush, and disguised coverages.
  • The winner advances to the national championship game, with this semifinal deciding who moves on and giving the Big Ten Conference a chance to claim the title, Curt Cignetti said.
  • Dan Lanning, Oregon head coach, and Curt Cignetti, Indiana Hoosiers head coach, have mixed postseason rematch results, with Lanning's record showing both losses and avenged games, highlighting unpredictability.
