Two of the players will be competing for a national championship.

Mendoza led Indiana to an undefeated season and a Big Ten Championship over Ohio State this past Saturday. The team has the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff.

The Hoosiers star transferred to Indiana from Cal. He has 2,980 passing yards and an FBS-leading 33 touchdown passes this season. He’s only thrown six interceptions. He’s been instrumental in Indiana’s success this season as he’s helped piece together crucial wins despite late-game miscues.

Sayin is also competing for a national championship with the Buckeyes. Ohio State is the No. 2 seed in the College Football Playoff after losing to Indiana in the conference title game. Sayin had to compete for the starting job in the summer and was thrust into the role without much collegiate experience.
