Can Indiana football complete one of the most amazing runs in college football history? The No. 1 Hoosiers (15-0) get their chance against Miami (13-2) in the College Football Playoff national championship game tonight, Jan. 19.
IU was a perennial also-ran before coach Curt Cignetti arrived in late 2023. The Hoosiers qualified for the CFP in 2024 and became a powerhouse this season behind Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
The Hurricanes were a controversial pick to the CFP field but have won three games for their title shot. Miami has won five national championships, most recently in 2001. Coach Mario Cristobal, a Miami native, played on title-winning Hurricanes teams. Quarterback Carson Beck ran in the winning touchdown in the closing seconds of their semifinal game against Ole Miss.
