| 0:00.0 | All right, Brian and part two of today's show here on the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to you by our friends over at Fanduil. We're talking about the national championship game tonight, which features the number one-seated Indiana Hoosiers versus the 10th-seated Miami Hurricanes. Now, this is taking place down to Miami Garden, so I guess some people are looking at it like a home game from Miami. Unfortunately, since they're the lower-seated team, they're going to be hanging out in their own visitor's locker room, which is an interesting twist on tonight's game. But this does kick off. 7.30 p.m. You can watch it on ESPN. It'll be inside a hard rock stadium. As things stand right now, obviously lines will always change leading up to kickoff, but we've already seen some movement. Right now on Fandul, Indiana is now seven and a half point favorites over under is set at |
| 0:58.7 | 47 and a half for this one, Brian. |
| 1:02.7 | That's a fascinating game, Travis. |
| 1:04.6 | It's only the third time these two teams have ever met. |
| 1:07.1 | The last time that Miami and Indiana played each other was 1966. I don't, I mean, I don't know |
| 1:14.4 | that anybody had, like, I haven't heard anything about, like, hey, this guy predicted, these are |
| 1:18.9 | going to be the two teams playing for a championship, you know what I mean? So I think this is a fascinating |
| 1:25.6 | game. So somebody in the chat said, Indiana winning would be the worst things for college football? I think that's nuts. I think it'd be awesome for college football. And I don't know that as a Notre Dame fan, I love it. It might be a bad thing for Notre Dame, depending on how you look at it. But I think it's great for college football. You've got an up-and-coming program against a program that's won championships in the past. |
| 1:47.3 | You have the new aspect of Indiana versus a, you know, is the you back kind of thing, |
| 1:54.4 | kind of like what they were talking about with Notre Dame last year. |
| 1:57.3 | And it's just, it's a two very, just who saw this coming? You know, who saw this coming? And you go back to Miami, you know, can they win big games? Can they do this? Can they do that? And their season starts with a win over Notre Dame, which is what made their season. Like that's still, to this day, I think, the biggest one they've had all year, because it's the best team they've beat all year, in my opinion. With all due respect, |
| 2:19.8 | Ohio State. But to your point, though, they did beat Ohio State also. You know, they did |
| 2:26.5 | beat Ole Miss also. They did beat Texan on the road also. This isn't like, remember the year |
| 2:33.6 | Michigan made it to the championship game and basketball. |
| 2:37.1 | It wasn't the team with Trey Burke and all those guys. |
| 2:39.5 | It was like the other team. |
| 2:41.1 | And like they never played anyone higher than a seventh seed until the title game when |
| 2:44.8 | Villanova smacked them. |
| 2:46.5 | They just kind of got lucky that a bunch of higher seedseated teams kept getting upset every week, you know? |
| 2:51.8 | This isn't that. |
| 2:53.5 | You had to beat the number two seed. |
| 2:56.1 | If you're looking at Miami, you had to go on the road and beat the number seven seed. |
