No. 1 Indiana is headed to its first Rose Bowl in 58 years to face Oklahoma or Alabama. The Hoosiers made a storybook transformation into a college football powerhouse over the past two years, and now they’re headed to the most fabled arena in the sport.

This showdown in College Station kicks off a trio of playoff games on Dec. 20 and is easily the most intriguing matchup of the first round. Miami moved into the 12-team field in a bit of a surprise, jumping Notre Dame in the final selections despite ranking behind the Fighting Irish in the previous five weeks.

Ohio State didn't fall far. The Buckeyes, looking to defend their 2024 national championship, landed at No. 2, followed by SEC champion Georgia at No. 3 and Big 12 champion Texas Tech at No. 4. Those four teams earn opening-round byes.

Ohio State remains a +220 favorite to win the national championship despite losing to Indiana Saturday in the Big 10 title game. The Hoosiers, who have the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff, check in with the second-best odds at +320.
