No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers meets resurgent Miami Hurricanes in a generational College Football Playoff title game at Hard Rock Stadium, marking the dawn of a modern champion in the 12-team era.
The second College Football Playoff National Championship of the 12-team era is officially set — and it is one of the most compelling title matchups college football has seen in decades.
On Monday, Jan. 19, No. 1 Indiana and No. 10 Miami will battle for the national championship inside Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the Hurricanes. It will mark Indiana’s first-ever appearance in a national championship game, while Miami returns to the sport’s biggest stage for the first time since the 2002–03 season.
It is a collision of momentum, mythology, and modern roster-building — a fitting finale for a playoff format designed to crown the best team, not just the biggest brand.
