Shame they get to play another team who beat mostly scrubs and lost to a Mac team!! Still think iu under will be my play seeing how great the offense looked vs the only legit team they played. I sure had hoped a 12 team playoff would be fun but didn’t count on garbage teams that didn’t beat any ranked team being in, other than pen st of course., if I’m a sec team I’m dying to move to the big10 where I can play a bunch of 6-6 teams and be crowned., I’d take scary vs iu on any field any day.

The SEC is down this season. In fact, all of college football has more parity than usual. You can't tell me any SEC team would've just steamrolled the Big10 when we just witnessed Georgia getting lucky as hell to even beat Georgia Tech and Kentucky. I understand IU doesn't have the cache and good wins to impress much, but they have been smashing almost everyone they've played. They have plenty of upperclassmen and experienced players balling out. Sure, they didn't beat OSU, but the final score was totally misleading. Take away 2 special teams plays and a bush league TD at the end, IU would've been within 1 score. Big10 is top heavy while SEC has a bunch of good but not great teams. IU can hang with anybody from what I've seen this season. They will not be intimidated vs ND.

I can tell you with total confidence at least 3 sec teams that got left out, teams that had to play multiple ranked teams not bunch of 6-6 big10 trash. I know you love Iu but every one of ol miss, scary, or bama, would mop the floor with them and be massive favs, Iu are total frauds just like pen st every year, beat up on bunch of weak teams and the 1-2 cracks they get at a real team and the truth comes out, it just a bummer im not sure Irish are any more real, they beat bunch of posers and lost to a Mac team so assuming iu actually wins this game I can’t wait to unload against them wken they play another real team and their 30 year old journeyman qb looks like he did vs osu.

And don’t be so rough on Gtech, give me a healthy king and Gtech would roll Iu
 
It’s sadly obvious no team should schedule anyone out of conf, then hope they get to play all the middling trash teams, presto, you beat nobody and you in playoffs over teams who actually faced real teams and didn’t get embarrassed the 1x they play a real team. What a system! Everyone loves the Hoosiers tho, they looked so great smashing a bunch of garbage 6 win teams!! Iu best win sneaking by 27th ranked Michigan at home!! Cuse has 4 wins better than any Iu win, and you better believe they would have given osu a way better game, they damn sure woulda scored more than 7! Go Hoosiers, everyone loves your bs story and fraud team!!
 
Even better let’s set you up against a trash team who lost to northern Illinios, and you so good you 8 point dogs to that team!

Woah, I just saw a hypothetical line on Draft Kings that has ND favored by 2 vs Georgia. Surprised me

I'm not surprised.

This ND team is pretty solid.

Georgia QB issues and just not the Bulldogs of the last few years. They should have 3 losses.

All that being said, ND hasn't played anyone of note in awhile.

Needs to be proven in the field.

Will be a watch and bet game for me. Georgia D vs ND o will be what I watch in order to make a bet.

ND is solid yes, but you can run on them. Georgia shouldn't have to throw a pass
 
True Indiana didn't beat anyone, but their defense is legit. They hung tough against Ohio St, until they wore down because the offense was unable to do anything. I think this game is a definite under. Not betting it, but also feel ND wins the game & covers narrowly. I'm not going say the Irish beat a murderer's row of opponents, but Texas A&M, Louisville, Ga Tech & Army are better wins than Michigan, Nebraska, Washington & UCLA.

As much a joke I think iu is in the field I’m not sure I trust Irish offense enough to lay over a td ? I’ll have took look a lot closer at iu d and if they actually played anyone w a run game that involves the qb so much like Irish. At the very least without knowing the number I assume id be on iu team total under, scoring 7 on osu and Irish having time to prepare I have serious doubts iu can score more than 14.

Opinions like assholes. Bet ya anything you want Vegas would favor at least 10 teams not in tourney over iu. But hey I get it, lots of lemmings have bought into these frauds. Forget who it was who thinks there 39 year old recycled qb gonna be a star in the nfl, he sure looked good vs the only good d they played all year, 7 whole points!! Canadian fb league here he comes after they get shut out by nd.

Dunno if Vegas sets lines on these things but I bet there easily 10 teams left out who be favs over iu. The 3 sec teams and canes are all no brainers, if you don’t think those teams favs over iu I’m wasting my time. Cause I’m just arguing w a fan boy. Prob one who loved getting 11 points against osu!

Who are the other 6 teams that would be favored and "smash them"? Also....Miami, if favored at all, wouldn't be by more than a fg.....

Cuse, prob not favs but beat them easy, they actually have 4 wins better than any iu win. BYU probably shuts them out, I know they looked so awesome playing 6 win teams tho! Texas am wouldn’t let them past mid field and they not even ranked, Colorado easily outscores them. I’d pound Kansas or Baylor vs these frauds but I know ya’ll have become iu fans so this a waste of time, you convinced a team with not 1 ranked win is the greatest thing since sliced bread and their 30 year old qb gonna be a nfl star., gl making money on them, Shame the committee put them up against another fraud but they still won’t score 17 points.
 
To tell the truth Miami is prob the only team of the ones I listed I’d prob take iu. You put cuse vs Indy in colts dome this weekend and I’d bet everything i own on cuse.
 
Truth is none of us know if IU is any good. This is truly gambling. Outside of maybe Oregon, you can poke holes in the résumé of any of these teams. IU deserves to be here and I have a feeling their coach is going to have them prepared. Now, whether that’s enough to beat the Irish we’ll see. I personally think they hang tough this round. If they manage to get by the Irish, then possibly a golden opportunity to bet against them in round 2.

Put Cuse outside when its freezing....are you still making that bet? BYU? Kansas? Baylor? Colorado? Put down the pipe dude. None of those teams would be favored and none would blow out Indiana. Would you take Indiana vs Northern Illinois? Or would they smash the Hoosiers too since they walked into the great and powerful NDs home stadium and held them to 14.....as what....21 point dogs?

I don’t think Irish will smash them they a bit fraudulent themesives. Think I was clear I’d take cuss if the played in the dome in Indy, outside prob not. I didn’t say all those teams be favs but imo they all every bit as good as iu, have beaten better teams than iu, and could easily beat them given the chance. This isn’t just bout iu, it’s about the whole system, they are killing the 1st month of ncaa cause no team has any incentive to schedule a tough game. I could say pretty much the same things about pen st who been doing this for years where they compile 10-11 wins and best nobody yet end up ranked 5th in the courty even tho they have best a top 5 team since mr peanut got there. So while it appears im picking on iu it not just them, the Irish beat Aggies week 1 then nobody else on the way to losing to a MAC team who didn’t even win mac!! I wasn’t against the 12 team playoff but now that i see the teams in it I’ve lost a lot of interest. 11 win teams who beat nobody and were mostly embarrassed the 1 or 2 x they played a ranked team., tell me honestly what you think happen if iu played ducks? That a 2 score game at least. I don’t have any more love for Irish being here than iu. Neither one would have stayed within double digits of scary, ol miss, bama, Texas am, or lsu. There needs to be a way for teams to play more uniformed schedules or it will continue being a joke. Don’t really think iu, pen st, or Irish really deserve to be here cause they beat nobody outside Irish week 1 win. You can say I’m smoking whatever you like but all those teams I listed could easily beat iu and the spread on a nuetral wouldn’t be any more than 3-4 points tops.

I apologize if the truth is upsetting to all these iu fans I didn’t know existed till this season! But this is worse than putting those tcu frauds in last years playoff. And while we at it what a fucjing joke draw pen st got. Shouldn’t Oregon, Uga, Texas, you know a deserving team got that pathetic draw?? Pen st gets smu the boise? What a fucjing joke that is. If they don’t win 2 game my point is more than proverb cause once again there 10 teams on the outside that could get thru those teams without breaking a sweat. Way to make sure pen st shows well, gives them the easiest draw in the tourney!

The last time Indiana played an SEC team they won on the road against the SEC East champion which wasn't long ago. Take it for what it's worth.

Totally disagree. You can't go by what you think would happen, it all matters on the field. That's why results matter.

Last time was a loss to Ole Miss as -7.5 in a bowl game (2020 season).

Before that a one-point loss to Tennessee.

Before that is the game against Mizzou that you're talking about.

Oops, yes you're right. But the point of SEC would do this and that vs Big10 teams was the main rebuttal.

Indiana blew out almost every opponent they played.

OSU was as I said, a 24-10 game. Ohio State defense was excellent after adjustments and they had no time. That's to be expected from what Urban Meyer called the most talented team ever.

Many point to the Michigan game -- yes a team that struggled but in November the Wolverines played more to preseason expectations on defense. Things started to click a bit. That's a top 2-3 DL in the nation. The Hoosiers started strong that day and then had a lot of trouble with the DL.

So, how do we cap IU in the playoffs. I'd say first and foremost cap the opponent DL. Move on from there.
 
Forecast is mid 20s with light snow.

Should be a great setting. There will be a strong IU presence, no doubt. Proximity and situation.

That would require ND fans willing to part with their tickets which doesn't seem like it's very likely. Not even sure how allotment goes in this new setup but I can't see there being a bunch of Indiana fans there.
