The 112th Rose Bowl, a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game, takes place New Years Day in Pasadena, California, featuring one of the most unusual matchups the sport can offer.

No. 1 Indiana made a statement Thursday in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals at the Rose Bowl, rolling to a 38-3 win over No. 9 Alabama.

The Hoosiers became the first team that earned a first-round bye in the brief history of the 12-team playoff to win its quarterfinal game.
