Indiana Hoosiers Win National Title: Is The Big 10 The New Brand Of College Football?

Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss Indiana’s historic championship run, what it means for the future of college football, whether the transfer portal and if the Hoosiers’ breakthrough signals a changing of the guard in the sport.

The College Football Playoff National Championship game last night featured the Indiana Hoosiers vs the Miami Hurricanes, with the Hoosiers winning 27-21 to claim the national title. Indiana capped off an undefeated 16-0 season and secured the first national championship in program history. Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza led the way, highlighted by a crucial fourth-quarter touchdown run on fourth down, while the Hoosiers’ defense sealed the victory with a late interception in the final minute thrown by Carson Beck. Miami battled back throughout the game but ultimately fell short, finishing the season 13-3 as Indiana completed a historic championship run. Can Indiana do this again next year? Is the Big 10 the new brand of college football? What went right for Indiana and what went wrong for Miami? Is this Indiana run on par with the other great runs? Is the transfer portal a good thing?
