Indiana is your national champion after a 27-21 win over Miami in the College Football Playoff championship game at Hard Rock Stadium Monday night.
Now, we move on to next season.
Neither of the two championship finalists have the best odds to win the national championship next season, but it is still early.
The Ohio State Buckeyes lead the pack with +650 odds at bet365 to win it all in 2027.
The Hoosiers are close behind their conference foes at +700, with Notre Dame (+700) , Texas (+850) and Oregon (+900) as the only other teams with odds shorter than 10/1.

Their only losses came at the hands of the championship finalists, and the Buckeyes’ defense put up some absurd numbers.

They allowed just 9.3 points per game and 219.1 yards per contest, the best marks in college football this past season.
Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers will have a tough time replicating the massive success they had this season, especially without Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza under center next season.

But if any coach has proven that he shouldn’t be doubted when it comes to building a championship level team, it’s Cignetti.
The Hurricanes are further down the list despite their massive success this season.
They open at 20/1, which isn’t too far off from their 30/1 odds entering this season.
