Indiana and Oregon have been two of college football's best all season, setting up a highly anticipated rematch in the College Football Playoff semifinals Friday in the Peach Bowl.

The first matchup made for a thrilling top-10 battle, as Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza led an 80-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter to upset the Ducks on their home field. That represents Oregon's lone blemish of the season, which includes wins over ranked teams like No. 4 Texas Tech, No. 12 James Madison, No. 15 USC, No. 20 Iowa and No. 3 Penn State at the time.

The teams are led by elite coaches in Indiana's Curt Cignetti, who's 25-2 over the last two seasons, and Oregon's Dan Lanning, who's 48-7 across his first four seasons as a head coach. Their first matchup delivered in a big way, and the second comes with a trip to the title game on the line.

Here's more information on Friday's game.
