The majority of Georgia Bulldogs fans were cheering for the Indiana Hoosiers against the Miami Hurricanes in the national championship game. A big reason why many Georgia fans cheered for Indiana, aside from the Hoosiers being a team without much of a winning history, was because former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck transferred to Miami after the 2024 college football season.

In Beck's sixth season of college football, he led Miami back to the national championship game. The Hurricanes kept the game close throughout the second half and got a forced an Indiana field goal attempt to get the ball back with less than two minutes left in the game.

Beck engineered Miami's final drive past midfield after taking a major hit, which drew a roughing the passer penalty. Indiana coach Curt Cignetti called a timeout to slow Miami's momentum. With a touchdown, Miami would, in all likelihood, be national champions. On the next play, Beck threw an interception to Indiana cornerback Jamari Sharpe to clinch the Hoosiers' first national title in school history.

Indiana won the national championship 27-21 after a couple of kneel downs on the following plays. The Hoosiers, who led the nation in turnover margin, waited all night to force a Miami turnover, but it came at the most crucial time possible.
