2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Let's see how IU's blue collar approach works after
- they summit the mountain. This is their revenge tour
- they actually have to reload their coaching staff. Does Chip Kelly lose to both Miami and IU? Does he even lose to one of them?


They don't make much humbler guys than Trey, Emeka, etc. Do they really come back for 2024 if they had already won a natty?
All very true. Hunger vs complacency is a problem.

It used to be called IUPUI (Indiana / Purdue).

That campus has 30k, added to the nearly 50k in Bloomington.

For comparison, Da U has 20, Oregon 22k, Ole Miss 28k.

Meaning they are 18k bigger than the other 3 semi finalists combined.
Yup

And all of the regional campuses add to it - you can get 4 year degrees at most of them.

IU Bloomington and IU Indianapolis are core campuses that award degrees....and I think all their regional/branch campuses award degrees....

True. I originally started my engineering degree at IU East and Purdue branches in Richmond Indiana.Had I graduated from either, I would’ve received my diploma from the main campus university. IU has satellite schools all over the state

It’s strange to say this, but I think we’re dealing with a much different era now with the NIL and the whole shebang. These 5 stars get smoke blown and have high demands, while these other guys are coming in with a blue collar mentality and giant chips on their shoulders. They just want to shine.

Might be time to decide to start watching more film rolls than the * next to a guy’s name.

That’s a broad generalization, but I do think there’s more to show and prove by the ugly ducklings these days, as is being shown tonight by this squad.

Oh, I agree. Star ratings exist to drive subscriptions. If you *really* want to know how good a prospect is, look at his offer list.
