Big Ten powerhouses do battle for a spot in the National Championship when the No. 1-ranked Indiana Hoosiers take on the No. 5-ranked Oregon Ducks in the Peach Bowl.
It’s also a matchup of potentially the top two picks in this April’s NFL Draft in Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore. So, in a game ripe with star power, we’ve got to have a juicy SGP to go along with it.

Our best Oregon vs Indiana SGP for Peach Bowl
This rematch is going to be fun and close. The Indiana Hoosiers won in Eugene 30-20 as 6.5-point underdogs, thanks to two Dante Moore interceptions, so the Hoosiers being 3.5-point favorites on a neutral site is a big — but understandable — swing in the odds.
Indiana is talented, well-coached, and playing at another level after making Alabama look like a G5 team.
Oregon Ducks running back Jordon Davison being ruled out is a big deal. The combination of Davison and Noah Whittington made the Ducks' rushing attack tough to stop.
Indiana will force Moore into a key mistake to cover and continue this epic run.
Meanwhile, Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza has thrown for 3,172 yards with 36 touchdowns and just six interceptions so far this season. That’s 227 yards per game, and while he only threw for 192 in the Rose Bowl against Alabama, he did that on just 16 attempts and barely threw the ball in the second half.
And a big chunk of those yards and touchdowns went to Elijah Sarratt. The wideout has found the end zone a conference-leading 13 times and in nine of his last 10 games, including the Big Ten Championship and Rose Bowl.
