Since being selected as the final team in the College Football Playoff field, the Miami Hurricanes have carried the label of outsider. That perception has only grown ahead of the title game, where Miami opened as a 8.5-point underdog to the unbeaten Indiana Hoosiers, according to On3’s Brett McMurphy.

Since 1967, Miami has produced 64 first-round picks. Indiana has had only 95 players drafted. But the schools may have back-to-back No. 1s.

Douglas Farmer offers three reasons why the Hurricanes can upset the Hoosiers with his Miami vs. Indiana predictions and analysis.

Delta, Frontier, Southwest and American Airlines added additional flights to Miami for IU fans. But starting at $960, they'll cost you.

Miami football is a current underdog by nearly double digits versus Indiana. But Malachi Toney presents why the Hurricanes can shock IU.

Take Indiana’s undersized cornerback D’Angelo Ponds, who, as Bruce Feldman wrote Tuesday, only had one P5 offer, from Syracuse, at the time he committed to Cignetti at James Madison. He immediately “proved the doubters wrong” his first year at JMU, earning Freshman All-America honors while ranking 11th nationally with 15 passes defended.

The Hurricanes reportedly offered Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson $6.5 million to withdraw from the NFL draft and play for them. This followed Simpson's impressive first season as the starter in Tuscaloosa.
