This is actually great for college football. It gives hope to every single fbs program.
Official '26 CFB Championship, Indiana vs. Miami, game thread

Yes, it’s clear you don’t understand.
I have to admit I've come to totally respect this IU team, it's hard not to. They 100% deserve this one.
Both are punchable for different reasons….
Thought the same before the throw, thinking it would suck for Miami to lose a NC
on an interception like Gifto.
Not many have the money Cuban does--they get credit for spending it well but let's not pretend this means anyone can win. If anything it supports what most here claim to hate--using the portal and buying players. Either team winning today did that though
Oh, I don't disagree at all. It's just slightly shuffled the haves and the have nots.
Enjoyed the game. Thank god I stopped the wife from buying tickets that would have sent us to bankruptcy court tomorrow.
My takeaways for PSU are that you need a coach who is willing to throw money at a top QB every year. It’s nice if they are home grown, but an 18 year-old can’t beat a 24 year-old. You can’t wait three years for the 18 year old to develop, go to class, and mature. Those days are done.

The Miami Bills have lost the NC in brutal fashion at least three times now:
Penn State 1987
OSU 2003
IU 2026
Almost like they have bad karma or something.

And Miami were a bunch of dogs too. IU was holding on. And I am glad they did, but Miami also impressed.
Punchable? Why? Because he is a Christian and speaks about God proudly? IMHO, he is a great kid and a role model for HS kids to aspire to emulate. God bless this young man richly.
He is a very tough kid and took a targeting hit and others hard hits. His boyish grin is very misleading.
I've come to realize that "Hand-fighting" means that it's a penalty, just not enough of a penalty to call it.
"Catch the sharks, let the minnows swim." I'm OK with that. I would like to see it cleaned up a little. What that means or looks like? I'm not smart enough to answer that.
For sure. I think they finally got the 2 best teams together.
I actually bought IU down to 6.5. Didn't do any good. Covered it w/ the first half Under bet though.
Everyone but McAfee picking Miami tells you everything you need to know about these clowns. Saban especially comes off as more full of sh*t than anyone else. Not just for the pick but for the absolute slop he tries to pass off as genuine and earnest; yes Nick, you never cared about stars and of course everyone wants to be in the South just because it's so much better there - the kids from California were dying to go to Tuscaloosa to play for you, not for the free Dodge Chargers you were giving away. What a joke.
Me either. First thing I was told in high school when I started returning punts.
Actually I didn’t have a problem with it. The non-calls were pathetic and far better to complain about calls when you are up 10-0 rather than losing. And I don’t like Cignetti one bit.
It is universally known at this point that Saban at Bama and other SEC schools paid players well before NIL. That was the reason for the SEC’s success over a 20 year time period. As much as I hate NIL, it definitively has leveled the playing field to a degree.
Please you are embarrassing yourself. The officials have been letting DBs on both teams play handsy and tight all night. Lame attempt to create a false equivalency with the obvious blatant cheap shot when the Miami player launched himself and hit Mendoza in the face with his helmet.
Uh maybe because it wasn’t 4th and short and kicking a FG requires Miami to score a TD with less than 2 minutes and no time outs rather than being able to tie the game with a FG if you go for it and don’t make it.
