Just one college football game remains on the 2025-26 schedule, with the No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers traveling to Miami to take on the No. 10 Hurricanes in the College Football Playoff championship. 

While the Hoosiers are heading into unfriendly territory with the game at the technically-neutral site at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, they enter the game as an 8.5-point favorite according to Draftkings. Led by Heisman Trophy winner and likely top-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft Fernando Mendoza, Indiana has bulldozed their way to the title game. After a first-round bye, Indiana trounced Alabama 38-3 before demolishing Oregon 56-22 in the semis.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Mendoza didn’t just win the Heisman Trophy, but was also voted College Football Player of the Year by the Associated Press. With that being said, how many of the AP College Football Player of the Year winners since 1998 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
