No. 7 seed Notre Dame hosts No. 10 seed Indiana to kick off the 12-team College Football Playoff era in South Bend, Indiana in what will be a historic moment as the landscape across college football changes. Though both schools are located in the state of Indiana and are separated by around 200 miles, this will be the first meeting between in-state foes since 1991 and just the 30th all-time.
This is also the first BCS/New Year’s Six/College Football Playoff game between in-state opponents since Florida State and Miami faced off in the 2004 Orange Bowl. Not only is the first time that Indiana and Notre Dame have played in over 30 years, it’s just the second time since 1959.
Notre Dame won 49-27 in 1991 and owns a 23-4-1 record in the all-time series. Indiana hasn’t won in South Bend since 1898, the first time the Hoosiers and the Fighting Irish met on the gridiron.
It’s a big spot for Indiana to rewrite history as the Hoosiers enjoy their first College Football Playoff appearance in program history. They comfortably made the field as an at-large team after finishing the year with an 11-1 record, an especially impressive feat when you consider that Indiana won nine games total from 2021-23.
Notre Dame is making its third College Football Playoff appearance but its first under coach Marcus Freeman. The Irish have steadily improved each year under Freeman and reached new heights for his tenure in 2024 with 11 wins of their own.
