Indiana and Alabama are set to face off in the 112th edition of the Rose Bowl, which is doubling as a College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup this year. An upstart program faces arguably the greatest in the sport’s history in what should be a fascinating showdown.
The Hoosiers enter the game as the No. 1 team in the nation after an incredible 13-0 season. The Crimson Tide come in ranked No. 9 at 11-3 after a 34-24 opening-round win over No. 8 Oklahoma. The game will feature two outstanding quarterbacks with Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Alabama’s Ty Simpson dueling it out.
