Heard Indiana fans talking about the insane secondary ticket market for the national championship game last night and omg (via StubHub)

Indiana — yes, Indiana! — is one win away from its first national championship.

And we shouldn’t be surprised the Hoosiers are here … because they’re the best team in CFB. Curt Cignetti has built himself a juggernaut.

Indiana opened as a touchdown favorite in the national title game. At some point typing facts about the 2025 Hoosiers will stop feeling like I'm telling you I just saw a UFO

Dan Lanning on Indiana: "There's not a weakness in their game. They run the ball well. They stop the run well. They throw the ball well. They defend the pass well. They're great on special teams. So, you see a really complete team, a well-coached team."

Fernando Mendoza is 17-of-20 for 177 yards and five touchdowns in a national semifinal game.

Can probably add a bullet point to the ol' LinkedIn profile.

I just don't know what you do if your'e Oregon right now. There's still a quarter and a half to play!

Pat Coogan recovers the Fernando Mendoza fumble, and the IU crowd chants "Coooooog"

Curt Cignetti, up 35-7 in the CFP semifinals, looks totally pissed off on the sidelines because of a false start.

HALFTIME: Indiana 35, Oregon 7.

The Hoosiers are 30 minutes away from playing for a national championship.

If I'm Carson Beck, I'm having nightmares every night between now and Jan. 19.

If Indiana fans are looking for something to do at halftime, may I recommend my sit-down with Curt Cignetti from November?

We talked about when he realized he had a team that could do something special & how he plans to keep Indiana rolling: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vCj...

34-7 Indiana.

It is still the first half. Somehow.

Curt Cignetti turned the losingest program in college football history into a wagon.

It is still the first half.

Charlie Becker has been absolutely unbelievable over the second half of this season.

Indiana has so many guys that can beat you.
January 10, 2026 at 1:55 AM
Dante Moore is having a nightmare of a first half.
