This sport is cooked. Nobody is going to watch 8-3 WVU vs 8-3 Pitt competing for a CFP Participation Trophy.

And now nobody is going to watch the blue bloods other than their own fans, because they're guaranteed to get into the CFP no matter what.

Like UGA/Bama last week for example. Completely and utterly worthless game now. I watch games like those every Saturday and have my entire life, that's done now. Over.

The TV execs played themselves. They just fucked the sport.

And before anyone argues about the fcs,

I was at the week 0 game at NDSU and sat next to a guys who has been a die hard Bisons fan for decades. He told me that about half the stadium was full during early round playoff games because the fans were getting bored with those games since they made the playoffs every year and won during most of them.

An extreme example since they were a fcs dynasty for a while, but I think it will hold as if LSU went to the playoffs at 8-4 to play a 10-2 liberty, I would not care to go to that game.

I’m picturing a future 24-team playoff.

One team from the non Power-4.
Notre Dame, probably as long as they’re 8-4.
Three ACC teams.
Three Big-12 teams.

That leaves 8 spots each for the B1G and the SEC. So basically all teams that went at least 5-4 in conference play.

It’s NFL Lite.

0-4 with RISP. Not taking advantage of these opportunities is going to bite us eventually

Welp, I guess he gets 1 run.

haha no disrespect guys but being shocked OSU is favored? what are we even doing? Indiana is good but come on. They are basically Penn st from a few years ago.

No they aren't. They went undefeated in the new extended playoff era. Some would say that is the hardest undefeated season ever.

They deserve maximum respect.

I think we can win, but after the injury report its a toss up.

Him turning Diggs around so he could see his nameplate to see who was talking trash may have been the coldest thing I've ever seen on a football field.

Big Rig through 3 innings with only 35 pitches.

The only thing I take contention with is relying upon Bey to a key part.

The real key part is Bo Jackson keeping the offense on schedule with his running. If the running game gets going - and we all know Jackson is the bell cow in that part of the offense right now - that makes things easier on Sayin for the passing game and then Bey for the explosive game playing off of established tendencies.

This may be the year with a team with 3 losses ends up in the college football playoffs.

It’s happened twice already

Clemson in 2024
Bama in 2025

If that's not photo shop then that is awesome.

It's likely they are going to double up on Jeremiah. Hopefully this will free up others that Julian can also throw to.

like previously mentioned. If Sayin balls out Indiana will be hard pressed to keep up and this defense should feast. Hoover is beyond due to throw some meatball subs

Uck failing to bring the runner home from 3rd in that situation has been a huge issue all year.

Buskers. Wanted to go with BYU, BUT the Cardinals will be praying for Leo and ND. I don’t think Joseph smith can rally enough mojo to put the pumas over the top.

If that’s a selection, I’m not sure who Buskers is.

Heck of an AB by Adell to draw a walk and then Lowe pounds one to the corner to score him from 1st

1-0 Good guys

Birm makes a good point about how big of a game this is for Sayin. How last year's IU game changed the whole perception of him as a QB. He needs a big performance in a big game

102nd in special teams is yikes considering that fucked OSU last year in the B1G title game.

Eerily similar to the 2024 ttun game at least from our offense's perspective. Please dont try and man ball this.....play to your strengths. Indiana's secondary is 76th in EPA per dropback and even made Aiden Chiles looks serviceable as a passer
