Indiana Favored by Most Coaches to Win CFP Title Over Miami

At the AFCA Convention, 25 anonymous coaches predicted the College Football Playoff national championship, with 22 choosing Indiana over the Miami Hurricanes. Indiana’s No. 1-ranked, veteran-heavy, well-resourced program under Curt Cignetti is highlighted after a dominant win over Oregon, while Miami counters with transfer portal additions like Carson Beck and a dynamic freshman in Malachi Toney. Coaches praised Indiana’s discipline and decision-making, though many acknowledged the evolving NIL/transfer landscape as a factor in who can win the title, making Indiana the near-unanimous pick among the group.
