Peach Bowl predictions
The Arizona Republic: Indiana 27, Oregon 21
Jeremy Cluff writes: "The Big Ten is guaranteed to have a team in the CFP national title game, but which team will it be? Indiana beat Oregon, 30-20, at Oregon, earlier this season, but this Ducks team is playing a lot better now. Both defenses are flying high after dominant quarterfinal performances, but only one of these teams has the Heisman Trophy winner on its roster. Fernando Mendoza will add to a historic season by leading the Hoosiers to another win."
The Register-Guard: Oregon 28, Indiana 24
Chris Hansen writes: "Indiana was the better team on Oct. 11, but it's hard to beat a good team twice. The pick here is the Ducks will win the rematch."

Sporting News: Indiana 28, Oregon 21
Bill Bender writes: "Rematches are always tricky, and the Ducks' defense has been solid since that first loss to the Hoosiers. We had Indiana in our initial CFP bracket, and the Hoosiers have given us no reason to change that pick. Mendoza delivers in the clutch again in the fourth quarter, and Indiana advances to the CFP championship game."
Fansided: Indiana 28, Oregon 22
Alicia de Artola writes: "CFB Graphs projects Indiana as the winner of their second matchup against Oregon, with a win probability of 60.9 percent. Just has it was in their first meeting, it's tough to separate two teams as even as this. However, that first meeting was in friendly confines for Oregon and they still lost. Without home field advantage, the Hoosiers' edge only grows. In the end, this may come down to a simple factor: Mendoza vs. Moore. Both QBs will be facing tough-as-nails defenses. Whoever copes best will advance."
Bookies.com: Bet Oregon to cover vs Indiana
Bill Speros writes: "Oregon has yet to be tested since an 18-16, win at Iowa on November 8. Thus, the Ducks could be rusty down the stretch. Oregon QB Dante Moore threw for more yards than Mendoza this season. The Ducks have plenty of talent and physicality on both sides of the ball to keep pace with Indiana. The Hoosiers win this one with a late kick as the points pile up in the second half. But take the points given that this one will be close, and the over in our College Football Playoff Betting Guide & Best Bets."
