Fernando Mendoza is in the news over his time at the E11even nightclub after winning the CFP championship.
Fernando Mendoza did not go home after the championship win. He did not sit quietly, he did not sip water and reflect on life. No! Fernando Mendoza went straight to E11even Nightclub in Miami, because that is apparently where champions go to celebrate properly.
Fresh off the big win, Mendoza showed up like the night owed him money. Energy high, confidence higher, shirt optional and smile locked in. The championship glow was doing most of the talking anyway.
E11even is not just a nightclub. It is a lifestyle choice. It never sleeps, never whispers and it definitely does not turn away a champion who is ready to party. The moment Mendoza walked in with teammates, the vibe shifted, music louder, lights brighter and bottle service suddenly very busy.

The Hoosiers celebrated their first-ever title at E11EVEN in Downtown Miami after their 27-21 win over the Hurricanes.
As the bottles popped and the party rolled on, the song “Fernando” by the Swedish group came over the speakers — and that’s when the champs went nuts!
The entire squad belted out their QB’s name whenever it popped up in the chorus (they don’t seem to know many other lyrics) … and Mendoza couldn’t help but smile.
The 1976 song — which is one of the group’s greatest hits — has become the Hoosiers’ anthem, thanks to the Heisman Trophy winner sharing the same name.
The fans even sang along at the Hard Rock Stadium after Mendoza and the Hoosiers won the CFP championship on Monday.
There’s something refreshing about seeing someone celebrate without pretending to be calm. Winning is rare, and championships are hard. Nights like this don’t come with refunds. So you dance, laugh and let the music hit.
By the end of the night, Mendoza had made one thing clear, the championship was real, the party was realer and sleep could wait.
Fernando Mendoza didn’t just win a title, he turned the celebration into a headline!
