2025 College Football Playoff Wrapped – “The Butthole Hair Bet”

I wouldn’t say I’ve ever “Done Drugs”, but, perhaps after two prescription strength anti-inflammatories & Acetaminophen, 60ML of Nyquil, and 30ML of Tylenol (I just had oral surgery days before), In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have put $5 on a Chicago Bears Win, then texted my boss “I’ll singe my Butthole Hairs off with a cigar if Indiana wins the national championship” right before an exciting night of the start of the College Football, and NFL playoffs (don’t worry, we were friends before he was promoted to Administration).

Well, mama didn’t raise no….you know the saying….sooooo –

Anyway, a quick recap of the important stuff (the season) –

The Hoosiers had a historic breakout year, finishing with an undefeated 16–0 record—the first perfect season in school history. They went 9–0 in Big Ten play, captured the Big Ten Championship with a win over Ohio State, and earned the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff under second-year head coach Curt Cignetti. Indiana dominated in the playoffs with big wins over Alabama (Rose Bowl) and Oregon (Peach Bowl), then capped the season by winning the CFP National Championship 27–21 vs. Miami, marking the program’s first national title, as well as Quarterback Fernando Mendoza winning the program’s First Heisman Trophy after leading the charge all year.
