US EditionOregon-Indiana headed for a rematch, Ole Miss to play Miami as college football’s final four is set
Indiana and Oregon earned semifinal spots after dominant quarterfinal wins, with Indiana crushing Alabama 38-3 and Oregon shutting out Texas Tech 23-0, setting up a Peach Bowl rematch.
- On Jan. 9, the Peach Bowl will host Oregon Ducks versus Indiana Hoosiers in Atlanta, with Miami facing the Sugar Bowl winner during the Jan. 8-9 window.
- A pair of quarterfinal blowouts — Indiana 38-3 and Oregon 23-0 — set the semifinal field as Indiana routed Alabama in the Rose Bowl and Oregon shut out Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl.
- Indiana's earlier 30-20 road win over Oregon set up a narrative-rich rematch after Cal transfer Fernando Mendoza led the Hoosiers to a 13-0 regular season and a Heisman Trophy.
- Next week the Peach Bowl winner earns a berth in the Jan. 19 national title game, preserving the Big Ten's shot at a third straight championship.
- Logistics matter too, as Oregon would face a 17,500-mile travel scenario if returning to Eugene between games, while Indiana's nine wins by at least 20 points highlight its semifinal strength.
