Choosing a national champion in college football hasn't always been easy. Let's look at the definitive list of every title winner since the 1869.

Before its College Football Playoff national championship game run, Indiana was the sport's worst program, ever. Here's the Hoosiers' all-time record:

No. 1 Indiana brings a 15-0 record into tonight's title game against No. 10 Miami at Hard Rock Stadium, where the Hurricanes will have home-field advantage.

This year's college football national championship was a classic from two teams that proved they're the best teams in the nation with their College Football Playoff run.

Completing one of the most unbelievable turnarounds in sports history with their gutsiest performance yet, the Indiana Hoosiers won their first national championship in college football Monday night.

Miami is just outside the top 10 at +2000 (20-to-1). The Hurricanes were one drive away from potentially winning this year’s national title and will bring back wide receiver Malachi Toney, but will have a new quarterback with Carson Beck running out of eligibility.

Fernando Mendoza added one last piece of hardware to his unbelievable 2025 season, taking home the College Football Playoff National Championship Offensive Player of the Game award following Indiana's 27-21 win over Miami on Monday night.

Everything that unfolded throughout the 2025 college football season led to this moment. One game will decide the national champion.

All it took was Mark Cuban buying the entire roster,” as one person I saw on social media said Monday. The IU-alum billionaire did indeed start cutting checks to Indiana this season, but that didn’t get the Hoosiers close to the top of the sport.
