It all comes down to this.
Indiana and Miami will meet Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium in the College Football Playoff national championship game. It’s a matchup between two programs that are representative of a new era of college football, one dominated by expensive rosters and NIL deals. But it’s also a meeting between two programs that have prevailed over the sport’s true bluebloods in unique ways. From Indiana’s fairy-tale run from the losingest program in the sport’s history to one win away from a 16–0 season to Miami’s winding path back to national championship contender after two decades in the wilderness, this will be a historic title winner.
