It's a battle of the newcomer and the blueblood at the 2026 Rose Bowl. No. 1 Indiana takes on No. 9 Alabama in the CFP quarterfinals game.
In just their second playoff appearance, the Hoosiers are at the top of the league, the favorites to win it all after being crowned Big Ten champions. While it's never an easy route, Fernando Mendoza will need to prove why he's the Heisman winner against the Tide.
Alabama has won three CFP Championships since the inaugural season in 2015, more than any other team. While its inclusion in this year's playoffs was controversial, it proved why Alabama is always a top dog by defeating No. 8 Oklahoma on the road in the opening round.
This one is a game for the history books. And it takes place at the iconic Pasadena stadium.
