Miami, Indiana and College Football Playoff
Digest more
Unlike most years, we have unusual suspects gearing up for the natty this season. After decades of trials and tribulations, Curt Cignetti’s Indiana Hoosiers are set to face Mario Cristobal’s Miami Hurricanes on January 19 for the most expensive national championship game ever.
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is excited to make what he described as his "homecoming" by playing Miami for the College Football Playoff national championship on Jan. 19 at Hard Rock Stadium.
BOTTOM LINE: Indiana aims to end its seven-game home losing streak with a win against Miami. The Pacers are 5-19 against conference opponents. Indiana is 3-18 in games decided by 10 points or more. The Heat are 12-10 against Eastern Conference opponents. Miami has a 4-2 record in games decided by 3 points or fewer.
Fernando Mendoza and the Hoosiers have once again laid waste to one of the best teams in college football. And only one remains.
