The College Football Playoff national championship game is set between the most dominant team this season, No. 1 Indiana, and the final team in the playoff field, No. 10 Miami. The two programs’ history tells a different story, though, with the Hoosiers coming into this season as the losingest program in college football history and the Hurricanes boasting five titles. They’ll meet Jan. 19 at the Hurricanes’ home stadium of Hard Rock Stadium in Miami for the right to claim the golden trophy. Will Indiana earn its first national title? Or will Miami overcome all odds against it this season? Sports Illustrated writers Pat Forde and Bryan Fischer take a look at the matchup and discuss how each program can win, adding their predictions for the game.
