BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The College Football Playoff committee has released its final rankings, and the No. 9 Indiana football program will travel to No. 5 Notre Dame for its first-round matchup on Friday, Dec. 20 at 8 p.m. The game will air on ESPN/ABC.
The Hoosiers (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten) make its first-ever College Football Playoff appearance in head coach Curt Cignetti's first season at the helm. The 11 overall victories and eight Big Ten wins each set program bests and the 28.7 scoring margin leads the FBS. Against Power 4 programs only, Indiana owns the nation's No. 2 scoring margin at 23.1 points per game.
The meeting with Notre Dame (11-1) will be the 29th all-time meeting and first since 1991 when the two teams met in South Bend. A victory would send the Hoosiers to the Sugar Bowl against No. 2 Georgia on Jan. 1 at Caesars Superdome Stadium.
