The very first game of the 12-team College Football Playoff is upon us and it gives us an in-state battle to get things underway.
The Indiana Hoosiers head to South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish with a spot in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals on the line.
Notre Dame, an FBS Independent, is hosting this game after going 11-1 and securing a home game as one of the top four at-large bids. Indiana, hailing from the Big Ten, snagged an at-large bid as well after finishing the year 11-1 also.

The home-field advantage will be on full display in this one. Notre Dame Stadium under the lights will be a sellout crowd and rowdy on a Friday night. Indiana keeps this thing close with Curt Cignetti having the Hoosiers embrace the moment, but Notre Dame is one of the hottest teams in the country over the back half of the season. Notre Dame 27, Indiana 23
