The day has come for a college football national champion to be crowned. Tonight, the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes take on the No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers in the 2026 college football national championship.
Indiana is looking to pull off a perfect season and its first national championship in program history. Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza led Indiana to victory every game this season — the first time that’s happened since 1945 — earning himself the Heisman Trophy.
The Hurricanes are chasing their first championship since 2001, when they defeated Nebraska for the trophy. Miami’s coach, Mario Cristobal, has a storyline of his own as he won the title in 1989 and 1991 as a player for Miami.
