‘One More Chapter to Write’: It Comes Down to Miami vs. Indiana for National Title

Players and coaches from Miami and Indiana spoke at media day ahead of Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship, highlighting readiness and the unique home-field context.

  • On Saturday, media day at the Miami Beach Convention Center featured fans from both teams and the national championship trophy ahead of the Jan. 19 game at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, broadcast on ESPN.
  • Malachi Toney said it means a lot to earn this blessing, while Miami Hurricanes players stay focused on preparation and execution rather than celebration ahead of kickoff.
  • Miami defensive end Rueben Bain Jr. is projected as a top-10 NFL pick and will play his final Canes game Monday, while Mendoza leads the nation with 41 TD passes.
  • Despite playing at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Hurricanes will be the road team on Monday, raising questions about whether local proximity will provide home-field advantage.
  • As the first twelve-team playoff season, Indiana Hoosiers could become the first team to finish 16–0 since 1894 after Curt Cignetti transformed them into an 11-1 regular-season program.
