Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to react to Indiana beating Miami in the National Championship. 

Colin gives props to Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza & calls him the clear #1 pick in the NFL draft, and argues that Miami proved they were the second best team in the country & deserved to be there (2:00). 

They agree that Miami has outstanding talent and will be back in the playoff next year (6:00), and Colin argues Curt Cignetti’s coach has Indiana looking like an NFL team (8:45). They predict that a passionate & wealthy IU fanbase will flood the program with money going forward, setting the program up for sustained success (12:30). 

They break down Fernando Mendoza’s game & project how he’ll fare in the NFL (18:15), discuss why Miami is set up to dominate the ACC in the coming years (26:15), and Colin argues that traditional SEC powers like Alabama and Georgia will fall further behind in the NIL era due to financial constraints (29:00). 

Finally, they agree that NIL & the influx of money has changed college football… and changed it for the better (32:30).
