"The 2026 College Football Playoff is down to the final four teams in the running for the National Championship. Thursday night features the first two semifinal contests with the #5 Oregon Ducks meeting the #1 Indiana Hoosiers at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl for a spot in the title game in mid-January. New York football fans ought to get a good look at these few remaining football contests as there is a solid chance you'll see one (or more)"
"Indiana brings an unblemished 14-0 record into the matchup against Oregon. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza has been excellent, the defense has been stout, and no one in the college football landscape has been able to hang a loss on Curt Cignetti's crew this season. Oregon will get their second opportunity to hand Indiana that first defeat. The Ducks suffered an early-season loss to Indiana on Oct. 11 after allowing Indiana to score the final 10 points of the ballgame."
The Peach Bowl semifinal matches #5 Oregon (13-1) against #1 Indiana (14-0) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Jan. 9 with a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Indiana enters undefeated behind quarterback Fernando Mendoza and a stout defense under coach Curt Cignetti. Oregon lost to Indiana on Oct. 11 but has since won eight straight, including postseason victories over #12 James Madison and #4 Texas Tech. Betting lines list Indiana as a 3.5-point favorite with a total near 48.5. Both teams show solid historical performance against sportsbooks and present NFL scouting interest for New York teams.
