Miami vs. Ole Miss; Thursday, Jan. 8, 7:30 PM ET ESPN
The Prospects:
Miami
- QB Carson Beck, No. 11
- OT Francis Mauigoa, No. 61
- WR Tony Johnson, No. 17
- WR C.J. Daniels, No. 7
- DE Rueben Bain Jr., No. 4
- DE Akheem Mesidor, No. 99
- LB Mohamed Toure, No. 1
- CB Keionte Scott, No. 0
- S Jakobe Thomas, No. 8
Ole Miss
- QB Trinidad Chambliss, No. 6
- DT Zxavian Harris, No. 51
- LB Suntarine Perkins, No. 4
- OT Diego Pounds, No. 61
- TE Luke Hasz, No. 9
- WR Harrison Wallace III, No. 2
The Matchups:
Ole Miss has a quality offensive line with a mobile quarterback to challenge the Miami edge rushers. Both Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor have been on fire to close the season, and they are going to need to play well again to limit a dangerous offense. Ole Miss linebacker Suntarine Perkins had double-digit sacks in 2024 before having his role changed this season, but he had a huge, clutch sack against Georgia. Perkins is fast off the edge and would be a good test for right tackle Francis Mauigoa if they match up against each other.
Oregon vs. Indiana; Friday, Jan. 9, 7:30 PM ET ESPN
The Prospects:
Oregon
- QB Dante Moore, No. 5
- OT Isaiah World, No. 76
- OT Alex Harkey, No. 71
- TE Kenyon Sadiq, No. 18
- DE Matayo Uiagalelei, No. 10
- DT A’Mauri Washington, No. 52
- OLB Teitum Tuioti, No. 44
- S Dillon Thieneman, No. 31
Indiana
- QB Fernando Mendoza, No. 15
- WR Elijah Sarratt, No. 13
- DE Mikail Kamara, No. 6
- LB Aiden Fisher, No. 4
- G Kahlil Benson, No. 67
The Matchups:
Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore could be starting quarterbacks in the NFL next year, and they will be tested by two quality defenses. Mendoza dominated in 2025 with huge wins over Oregon, Ohio State, and Alabama. Moore was on fire for a lot of 2025 before some underwhelming games, including his outing versus Indiana. Both quarterbacks will have the eyes of the NFL on them, so this tape is going to carry a lot of weight for them leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft. Ducks offensive tackles Isaiah World and Alex Harkey were dominated by Texas Tech in the second round. They need a rebound performance against Indiana and Mikail Kamara is a dangerous edge rusher to challenge them.
