Curt Cignetti has had a historic few seasons as Indiana’s head coach, and his team will enter this College Football Playoff clash as the No. 1 overall seed. After their victory over Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game and quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s Heisman victory, the Hoosiers enjoyed a first-round bye.
Alabama heads to Pasadena after beating Oklahoma, 34-24, in the first round. Although the Crimson Tide have stumbled at times this season, they should not be sidelined in this matchup.
