    Indiana vs. Miami Weather Report Today: Hard Rock Stadium Forecast Ahead Of CFP Championship Game

    This is it, the national champion for college football will finally be decided between the Miami Hurricanes and the Indiana Hoosiers on Monday at the Hard Rock Cafe in Miami Gardens. This means that the Canes pretty much have the home field advantage, though a lot of Indiana fans are still expected to show up at hostile territory. However, it seems that the weather will be something Indiana will be more familiar with.

    Weather often plays a huge factor for football games, with high winds often knocking thrown or kicked balls off target, while rain and snow could make the field muddy and slippery. Colder weather can also affect the performance of players, with some players not being able to play at maximum levels if the air is too chilly.

    So how will the weather over at usually-warm and sunny Miami be? Miami is usually warmer than the other cities in the north, with it forecast to be around 60 degrees during kickoff but it is expected to grow colder at 50 degrees at night. While this is indeed cold, it will not be enough to affect players, though these temperatures may be something Indiana players may be more accustomed to than Miami players.

    Conditions are expected to be mild, with some light breeze and clear skies, with very little chance of precipitation. This means that while it is chillier than usual at Miami, it will still be a very good condition for some football.

    There are a few persistent cold fronts happening around South Florida, but these are not enough to affect the game itself.

    Miami will be coming in as absolute underdogs, having clawed their way to the finals after being the 10th seed coming into the tournament. Meanwhile, the Hoosiers have remained undefeated and have bulldozed over every single team that they went up against during the CFP.
