Summary

Indiana beat Miami 27-21 on January 19, 2026 at Hard Rock Stadium to win the College Football Playoff National Championship — the Hoosiers' first football title ever.
A 12-yard fourth-down touchdown run keyed the win as Indiana finished 16-0, matching a perfect-season win total not seen since Yale in 1894.
Coach Curt Cignetti transformed a historic doormat — 3-9 before he arrived — into a champion in just two seasons.

The question

Indiana's title is the greatest turnaround story in modern college football.
