2 Adidas alliance teams playing in the Championship game. When's the last time you have seen that?

I have the Hoosiers. I can't imagine anyone besides Miami or Purdue fans not wanting them to win. Miami has what, 5 titles? This was the first time since 1967 that the Hoosiers won the BIG.

I credit it to bringing back the bison mascot.

I credit it to Coach Curt Cignetti.

Miami vs Indiana in the Championship game, should be good. I don't have a dog in the fight, I just hope it goes down to the final drive or OT.

Miami beat Ole Miss 31-27 in the Semi-Final. I'm not a Hurricanes fan but they've proven that they belong in the FBS playoffs. Eat crow Notre Lame whiners!

35-34 Bobcats win in OT. That was a Great game!

Great game but I was hoping the Redbirds would win.

What a game

[IUPNation]

Gee a title game where the field has a championship Game logo midfield and team names painted in the end zones .

Not a title game with the high school logos still on the field….

NCAA …do better for D2.

The FCS Championship game is on right now on ESPN. #2 Montana State leads Illinois State 14-0 early in the second quarter. Go Redbirds!

I'm a long time Jacks fan and they had a rough season with tranfer$ and injuries, but the unseeded Redbirds warmed up at the right time and barely made the playoffs. And they've been ON FIRE ever since! I hope they've got one more victory in them. I love a good underdog story.

The preseason situation with the loss of a player didn't help either - that was pretty hard on them. I think Montana State is going to take it, but those boys at ISU should be proud of what they put together.

I saw them beat SDSU in the regular season - obviously the Jacks not having Chase Mason kinda upended them pretty bad, but Illinois State had a scoring pace through the first quarter that I'd never seen before and likely won't again.

I wasn't sure if they were "good" and SDSU was "bad" or if ISU was just fortunate to play a downtrodden Jackrabbit squad, but it looks like they are very much in the "good" category (I don't follow FCS so I had no idea).

Fun Fact: Unseeded Illinois State is the first team ever to win four road games in a row in the FCS playoffs. I'm looking forward to the Championship Final vs #2 Montana State on January 5th in Nashville. 🏈 Go Redbirds!
