Description: Indiana Hoosiers surge toward national championship glory, shaking up the college football landscape under head coach Curt Cignetti. Zach Seyko and Jacob Goins break down Indiana's meteoric rise—from assembling a powerhouse roster built on overlooked stars and key transfers like Josh Hoover and Nick Marsh, to securing major program investments from heavyweight backers such as Mark Cuban. Can anyone in the Big Ten—Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State—slow down the Hoosiers’ newfound dominance?The hosts debate the future of college football as the Big Ten pushes for a 16- or even 24-team College Football Playoff, examining the risks of over-expansion, SEC resistance, and the fate of classic bowl games. The episode also features a full preview of the national title clash: Indiana vs. Miami, with analysis of Fernando Mendoza’s Heisman-worthy play, Miami’s tough defense, and the X-factors that could decide a new college football king.Become an every-dayer!
