A thrilling 2025-26 college football season will culminate in one final game Monday, as Indiana and Miami go head-to-head for a national title.
In one of the best program turnarounds in college football history, Curt Cignetti and Indiana enter this matchup as the overall No. 1 seed and with a perfect season record. The Hoosiers have soared through the CFP bracket, crushing both Alabama and Oregon by more than 30 points each.
On the other hand, Miami is looking to return to dominance of decades past, with its first opportunity to win a title since 2001. In his first year since transferring from Georgia, quarterback Carson Beck kept his team afloat in the regular season and led the squad to playoff upsets over Texas A&M, Ohio State and Ole Miss.
