It's the pinnacle of the college football season on Monday night when No. 1 seed Indiana takes on No. 10 seed Miami in Hard Rock Stadium for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. The Hoosiers are favored according to Vegas, but the Hurricanes are playing their best ball of the season at just the right time.
If the Hoosiers win, it'll be the third-straight season that a Big Ten team has won the CFP national championship, following Michigan in 2023 and Ohio State in 2024, but Miami would love to put a feather in the cap of the Atlantic Coast Conference and bring "The U" back to prominence.
Here at Buckeyes Wire, we are Big Ten guys because — well, Ohio State, but we try to be as unbiased as possible, and with Ohio State's only two losses coming to these two teams, OSU fans and media might be better positioned to pick the winner of this team, more so than other media contingents and fanbases.
Here's what all of our writers say about who will win between the Hooisers and 'Canes in the CFP National Championship Game on Monday night.
