He highlights a tougher schedule—especially late-season clashes with Nebraska, Ohio State, and Michigan—and rising competition from USC and Washington. While he’s been wrong before (remember his coach doubts?), he still believes Indiana will make the College Football Playoff. Fans, still buzzing from their 2025 championship run, are bracing for reality without Fernando Mendoza, now an NFL draft pick. Will Finebaum’s prediction hold—or will Indiana prove him wrong again?
