The College Football Playoff National Championship is shaping up to be quite the showdown. Indiana's dominant performance against Oregon has turned heads and shifted the betting odds. Initially, Indiana was seen as a slight favorite, but after their impressive win, they are now over a touchdown favorite. This is a big deal because teams favored by 7. 5 points have a strong history of winning. Meanwhile, Miami is coming off a close victory against Ole Miss. They are now the underdogs in the championship game, which is a stark contrast to their season-long journey. It's fascinating to see how the betting public's perception has changed. Early on, Miami was the more popular pick, but now Indiana is gaining momentum.
The championship game is set to take place at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami's home field. This adds an extra layer of intrigue to the matchup. The betting public is evenly split as of now, which shows just how unpredictable this game could be. Looking back, it's amazing to see how far both teams have come. Indiana started the season as a huge long shot, with odds of around 150-1. Miami was also not expected to go this far, with odds of 40-1. Their journeys to the championship game are a testament to their resilience and skill.
