CONTROVERSY: Indiana is the BEST college football team EVER & it's NOT CLOSE | 16-0 Natty Champs

Indiana Hoosiers shock college football by capturing the National Championship, sparking claims they might be the best team ever. Can Curt Cignetti’s innovative approach—mastering the transfer portal and winning with three-star recruits—redefine what greatness looks like on the gridiron?

Jacob Goins and Brian Smith break down Indiana’s historic 16-0 season, including clutch victories over Miami, Alabama, Ohio State, and Oregon. The debate heats up: how does Indiana’s underdog roster stack up against legendary squads like 2019 LSU and ‘01 Miami? The episode explores the culture shift that’s fueling Indiana’s dominance, implications for long-term success, and whether the Hoosiers can maintain their momentum as bigger stars join their ranks. Plus, reactions to the College Football Playoff format and early predictions for next season’s top contenders. Will Indiana’s formula spark more championship runs?
