This year’s CFP Championship as part of the Orange Bowl in Miami. The way the Hoosiers are playing they will be hard to beat. The game is scheduled for Monday January 19 with a 7:30pm kickoff and will again be on ESPN. 

One thing I hope that the weather is good for the title game since it is outdoors and not like it was for the week 18 NFL game last week in Tampa between the Bucs and the Panthers.

Indiana rolls!

In pro football I love weather games but I agree on the CFP. 

The early has the Hoosiers as a 7.5 favorite.

I think Indiana wins, but I could see this being a good game. I know some may not, but Indiana’s only battle that they have had was against Ohio State. Miami has been battle tested throughout the playoff and they are very good defensively too. I still believe Indiana is playing as the better team because of how well they are playing on both sides of the ball. I look forward to watching.

How different is it that not only Indiana is playing in the national championship, but are doing it without one 5 star player on their team. Pretty wild to think about with how they beat Oregon and Alabama in the playoff and nearly everyone they played in the regular season.

The game will be closer than IU’s two precious, but the Hoosiers get it done. They are just better than everyone this year, clearly the best team IMO.

Indiana is unreal but I like Miami with all their team speed and OL and DL.

That’s what gives them a chance, but I think Indiana is too good on both sides of the ball and their coaches truly make a difference. Their coaching has probably been the result of their success more than coaching has been for other teams in a long time.
