The College Football Playoff National Championship is set. No. 1 Indiana will face No. 10 Miami on Jan. 19 at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida for college football's biggest prize. Miami is seeking its first national title since 2001, while Indiana is chasing the first championship in program history.

Indiana, fresh off its first bowl win since 1991 after defeating Alabama in the CFP quarterfinals at the Rose Bowl, made another statement Friday. The Hoosiers defeated No. 5 Oregon 56-22 behind a dominant effort on both sides of the ball. In Year 2 of the Curt Cignetti era, Indiana now stands one win away from completing one of the most remarkable turnarounds in the sport's history.

The matchup will mark the third all-time meeting between Indiana and Miami -- and the first since 1966. The Hoosiers earned a 28-14 victory in 1964 before the Hurricanes evened the series with a 14-7 win two years later.

Miami earned its spot in the title game with a Fiesta Bowl semifinal that will be remembered as an instant classic. The Hurricanes controlled the line of scrimmage for much of the night, but Ole Miss appeared poised to steal the game after quarterback Trinidad Chambliss engineered a late touchdown drive to take a 27-24 lead with just over three minutes remaining.

That proved to be too much time for Miami quarterback Carson Beck. The sixth-year senior answered with a poised, downfield march, capping the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds left -- a play destined to live in Miami lore.

Ole Miss still had one final chance, driving to the Hurricanes' 31-yard line for a last-gasp heave into the end zone. Chambliss' pass fell incomplete -- not without controversy -- sending Miami into celebration and back to the national championship game for the first time since 2002.

Below, you'll find all the viewing information for every game all the way through to the CFP National Championship.
