Hanna Cavinder didn’t ask to be part of the College Football Playoff storyline tonight, but she’s in it anyway. Miami vs. Indiana puts her in a rare spot where every possible reaction gets read as a message. One side is the school where she built her brand and played her college career. The other is the place she was born. And sitting right in the middle of it all is Miami’s quarterback, Carson Beck, who also happens to be her ex.
The result is silence. And that silence is doing a lot of work.

Miami is the obvious tie. Hanna played for the Hurricanes, lived in the program, and built most of her national profile while wearing Miami colors. When people think of the Cavinder twins, they still associate them with Miami first, not their hometown.
That alone would normally make this easy. Former athletes almost always stick with their school in moments like this. The problem is that this Miami team is led by her ex-boyfriend, Carson Beck.
Beck was rumored to have transferred to Miami to be closer to Hanna, but the pair went through a messy split early in 2025.
Carson Beck’s Role In The Divided Loyalties Story
Carson Beck is Miami’s starting quarterback, and he is one of the main reasons they are in the national championship game. He is also Hanna Cavinder’s ex, which turns a simple rooting interest into a public guessing game.
If she supports Miami openly and Beck plays well, the conversation shifts to them. If Miami loses, the same people will still make it about him. That dynamic makes any public support feel loaded, even if her intent is just backing the school.
Why Hanna Cavinder Could Be Rooting For Miami
- Miami is the school she actually represented as a student-athlete.
- Most of her relationships inside college sports still connect back to the program.
- A Miami title puts everyone linked to the Hurricanes back in the spotlight, including former players.
It’s easy to separate “rooting for Miami” from “rooting for the quarterback” privately, even if the internet refuses to.
Is Hanna Cavinder Rooting Against Miami In The CFP National Championship?
This isn’t about wanting Miami to lose. It’s about avoiding a situation where the reaction becomes bigger than the game.
Miami’s quarterback is Carson Beck, and any public support for the Hurricanes immediately gets filtered through that lens. A post turns into screenshots. Silence turns into speculation. Either way, the story stops being football.
Choosing not to engage publicly keeps her out of a conversation she doesn’t control. That’s the practical move, not an emotional one.
Is Hanna Cavinder Rooting For Indiana In National Championship?
Indiana gives her an option that doesn’t come with baggage. She was born in South Bend. That’s a simple, clean explanation that doesn’t need a follow-up or a disclaimer.
If she acknowledges the game at all, Indiana is the side that avoids dragging old relationships into a national title conversation.
Why The Cavinder Twins Stayed Silent On Miami Vs Indiana
Neither Hanna nor Haley Cavinder has posted clear support for either team heading into the championship despite posting multiple Instagram stories and TikToks through the day. That’s noticeable because they are usually active during big sports moments.
The absence feels deliberate. Any post becomes a headline. Silence keeps the focus where it belongs and keeps her name out of unnecessary spin.
Who Hanna Cavinder Is Most Likely Rooting For Tonight
Privately, Miami still makes the most sense. It’s the school she played for, trained at, and built her public identity around. That connection doesn’t disappear because the quarterback changed.
But publicly, neutrality is the safest choice. As long as Carson Beck is leading Miami, any visible support becomes part of a different story. Staying quiet lets the game happen without making her part of it.
