If Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti chooses to go full Ricky Bobby and quote the main character from “Talladega Nights” following a win in Monday’s College Football Playoff national championship game, it will be exactly as it should be.
“Here’s the deal: I’m the best there is. Plain and simple. I piss excellence.”
No. 1 Indiana has been the main character of the 2025 college football season, and a national championship win over No. 10 Miami at Hard Rock Stadium would only cement that status. This is a team that’s more than the sum of its parts, devoted to a single ideal, a team no one has been able to stop: legendary.
