ATLANTA (AP) — Undefeated Indiana’s already impressive march through the College Football Playoff gained momentum as its dominant defense created three first-half touchdowns with turnovers, Fernando Mendoza threw five scoring passes and the Hoosiers overwhelmed No. 5 Oregon 56-22 in the Peach Bowl semifinal. No. 1 Indiana will face No. 10 Miami on January 19 in the national championship game at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Miami beat Mississippi in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal on Thursday night. Led by Mendoza and the defense, Indiana is making a case to be considered among the top teams in history.
