Phil’s Forecast:
Miami – Mississippi
This is the fourth meeting between these schools, but the first since 1951! Both teams are in the CFP Semifinal round for the first time. The Fiesta Bowl has historically been a house of horrors for Miami. They are 0-4 here including losses in two National Title games in ‘87 (vs
Penn St) and ‘03 (vs Ohio St). Ole Miss is making their first trip to the Fiesta Bowl. Hurricanes
have won 4 in a row SU & ATS vs the SEC. Ole Miss last 5 vs ACC, 5-0 SU & ATS by avg score of 45-15. Miami’s best win in the regular season came in their opener against Notre Dame.
That win vaulted them ahead of the Irish in the final Playoff rankings. They lost two ACC games to Louisville and SMU and missed out on the ACC Title game because of tie-breaker rules. The ‘Canes beat Texas A&M of the SEC 10-3 in the first round of the playoffs. Last week, we used
Miami (+9’) as our 4.5-star Bowl GOY against Ohio St. Miami never trailed the entire game and pulled a 24-14 upset. The ‘Canes D has been dominant. They allow just 13 ppg and 285 ypg
and just 84 rush ypg (2.8). Their loaded Dline, led by DE’s Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor,
held Ohio St to 45 rush yds and they have 21 sacks in their last 4 games. That pressure up front has helped a secondary that ranks #14 in our Pass D Rankings with a 9-12 ratio. Miami holds opp 119ypg below their avg (#4 FBS).QB Carson Beck has been accurate (75%) and has
a 13-1 ratio in his last 6 games. RB Mark Fletcher (947, 5.4) leads the ground game, WR Malachi Toney (1008, 10.7) is a Freshman All-American, and the Oline has allowed just 15 sacks in 14 games. The Rebels finished the regular season 11-1 and their only loss was at
Georgia 43-35. Each of their first two playoff games were rematches. They beat Tulane 41-10 (-17’). Last week they were +6 against Georgia. They trailed 21-12 at half but the Rebs D stepped up, and QB Trinidad Chambliss went bonkers in the 2H as Ole Miss rallied to win 39-34.
Chambliss has a 21-3 ratio but has his toughest test against Miami’s physical front 4. RB Kewan Lacy has rushed for 1464 (4.9, 23 td’s) and just announced he’s staying here in 2026.
Chambliss doesn’t have a true WR1 but 5 of his receivers have at least 500yds. The Rebels have given up an SEC-low 18 sacks in 14 games. The offense avgs 141ypg above opp average (#1 FBS!). Ole Miss’ is allowing 20 ppg and 340 ypg and holds foes 21 ypg below their avg (#50 in FBS). Rebel pass D ranks #25 with a 15-8 ratio and allows just 6.5 ypa. My computer has Miami 29-22 and AGG has the Canes by 1.5. Miami has played the tougher schedule (#18 vs #41) while Ole Miss has the better ST’s unit (#34 vs #61). Miami has faced 6 teams this
year that were ranked at kickoff (6-0 SU & ATS). Ole Miss has faced 5 teams this ssn ranked at
kickoff (4-1 SU & ATS). Ole Miss has enjoyed the benefit of familiarity in its first 2 CFP games ith Tulane & Georgia. However, that won’t be the case in the Fiesta Bowl. Miami’s front 7 presents challenges Chambliss has yet to face, and while HC Golding has done a great job so
far, the Ole Miss staff is in flux as some assistants prepare to join Lane Kiffin at LSU. I agree with my computer here and have a small lean on the under as well.

Indiana 24 – Oregon 17
It’s a Big 10 rematch in the Semifinals at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. This is the 5th all-time meeting between
these schools. Indiana (+7) won the regular season meeting in Eugene 30-20. Indiana had a 326-267 yd edge
in Autzen Stadium and Oregon scored 7 points on a Pick-6 that tied the game early 4Q. This is Indiana’s 3rd
trip to the Peach Bowl (0-2) but first since 1990 while Oregon makes their first trip to the Peach Bowl but
played in Mercedes Benz Stadium in Dan Lanning’s debut in ’22 versus Georgia. After the loss to Indiana,
Oregon won 6 straight including 5 over Bowl teams. The Ducks were ahead 34-6 against James Madison at
half in Round 1, pulled the starters to prepare for the quarterfinals, and allowed 28 pts and 312 yds in the 2H
with their starters resting the last few possessions. The D didn’t like that some were critical of the
performance, so they were fired up last week vs Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl. The Ducks held Red Raiders
to 215 yards and recorded a shutout, 23-0, against a team that came in averaging 42.5ppg. Oregon is #3,
putting up 135 ypg more than foes allow and #5, holding foes 115 ypg below their avg. QB Dante Moore has
a 28-9 ratio and is improving in his first full season as the starter. The bi-play trio of RB’s Noah Whittington,
Jordon Davison, Dierre Hill have combined for 2066 rushing (6.6). Malik Benson (696, 16.9) leads a rec corps
that is just now getting back to 100% after being banged up for much of the year. Frosh CB Brandon Finney
had 2 int’s and a FR last week and he had the Pick-6 in the first meeting vs Indiana. HC Curt Cignetti has not
let Indiana get complacent. They’ve checked all the boxes at 14-0. They won in Eugene earlier this year and
won the Big 10 Title by beating Ohio St. The Hoosiers were absolutely dominant last week, beating Alabama
38-3 with a 407-193 yd edge. They are +32 ppg and +216 ypg. Heisman-winning QB Fernando Mendoza
leads an offense that puts up 42 ppg and 468 ypg and 123 ypg more than their foes allow on avg (#4 FBS).
Indiana is deep at RB and has a big edge at WR with Omar Cooper (849, 13.9), Elijah Sarratt (727, 13.2) and
Charlie Becker who has gone over 100 yds in 3 of the last 5 games. The line has allowed 21 sacks, 5 more
than Oregon. The dominant Hoosier D is allowing just 10 ppg and 253 ypg while holding foes 110 ypg below
their avg (#7 FBS). They have 42 sacks, 13 more than Oregon, and are tied for #1 in the FBS with just 7 td
passes allowed. My computer has Indiana 28-24 and AGG favors the Hoosiers by 2.5 and 5.2 over the last 4
games. Indiana boasts the stronger ST’s (#15 vs #26) while Oregon has played the much harder schedule
(#4 vs #42). In 6 games vs teams ranked at kickoff this year, Oregon is 5-1 SU & 4-2 ATS. Ducks have been
a dog 6 times in 4 years under Lanning and are 4-2 ATS with 3 straight covers. Indiana 4-0 SU & ATS vs teams ranked at kickoff. Under ignetti, Hoosiers 7-1 ATS as a single digit favorite (beat Iowa this yr, 20-15,
as a 9pt favorite). Indiana has gone through the two biggest programs in CFB, Ohio St and Alabama, to reach
this point. They also outplayed Oregon in Autzen Stadium in the first meeting. Cignetti has built this team to dominate opponents on both sides of the ball, and I can’t see Oregon ending that run. Hoosiers clear the number in a lower scoring game that brings Mendoza one step closer to a national championship game in his Miami hometown.
