• The Indiana Hoosiers will play for a national title: The College Football Playoff national title game is set and it’s going to feature one of the most unlikely schools possible. Indiana will take on Miami on January 19 for college football’s biggest prize. • A performance for the ages: The Hoosiers had to shrug off generations of ineptitude to get to this point. They had to beat a talented Oregon team in Atlanta for the second time this season. And they barely blinked at either task, winning 56-22 in a game that was largely over in the second quarter. • The Hoosiers’ storybook season rolls on: A sterling performance from Heisman trophy winner Fernando Mendoza and three turnovers and two fourth-down stops by the Indiana defense spelled doom for Oregon. The greatest season in school history is now one game away from immortality. • The final: Indiana will play Miami at 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday, January 19 in Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
