Overview
- Sportsbooks list Indiana about an 8.5-point favorite with an over/under near 47.5, and ESPN's model gives the Hoosiers roughly a 68% win probability.
- Indiana enters 15-0 chasing a 16-0 finish and its first national title behind Heisman-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who has 3,349 passing yards and 41 touchdowns.
- Miami is 13-2 and will play the final in its home stadium despite being designated the road team, leaning on a defense revitalized by coordinator Corey Hetherman and a breakthrough from freshman Malachi Toney.
- Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET Monday on ESPN from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, with streaming available on the ESPN app and Fubo.
- Fans are advised to use the CFP’s official marketplace and authorized partners such as Playoff Premium and Ticketmaster, as resale ticket costs have surged and StubHub parking passes range from roughly $315 to several thousand dollars depending on the lot.
