Going to be cold some snow flying, Hoosiers a 7 - 7.5 point dog, I think Notre Dame wins and covers but pulling for Indiana
Playoff Indiana @ Notre Dame
- Thread starter TOMCATS1990
- Start date
Indiana the D1 school with the most loses in all of football made the playoffs, if they can KY can if all the stars align one day.
I’m figuring ND running game will secure the win in a high scoring game. I like ND and the over. 34-21 type of game.
IU this year is one of the great sports stories of last 20-30 years.
Very Rudy like feels, but for an entire program/university and fan base.
Two Indiana teams playing one another as two of the top 16 teams in CFB, in the state of IU is something unique as well.
Not two Texas teams in lone star state. Not two bama teams, California teams, Florida teams, etc…

Indiana only beat one team with a winning record this year whereas UK played four top ten preseason teams. Indiana would’ve only won 6 or 7 games with our schedule.
Hope I'm wrong about Indiana, but I see ND winning by more than 2 TDs. Similar to the Ohio State beat down.
What the he!! Is the world coming to when I'm pulling for IU?😜
All that is true, but if we were playing Indiana tonight they would beat our arse
No way on God's green Earth will I ever root for IU in anything. I hope ND beats the living hell out of them. ( And I hate ND too, but IU is on another level for me.)
Playoff would have to expand to 103 for us to get in right now.
They played with a MAC QB, James Madison talent, a new head coach in a "P2"
Two of the teams they played were in the title game last year.
Alabama running through IU's schedule, not so impressive. IU running through their schedule in the context of their program, talent, depth or lack thereof compared to a lot if not most P2s/P4s... impressive.
You're right. IU sucked this year. We should be crowned for our top SOS. Talent all across the nation looked at all that winning and scoring IU did and thought "nah...f8ck that. I want to play somewhere that gets their fudge packed like kid diddler on D block."
I'd rather impressively win 99% of my games and end up in the post season than get dog walked most games and end up watching all the bowls this time of year.
IU cannot do anything about their schedule.
This schedule fetish around here and amongst the general SEC fan bases is getting out of hand.
That top 5 SOS did absolutely dick for us. All it accomplished was stalling and reversing any momentum Mark Stoops had in terms of where he was going with the program.
It didn't do shit for the SEC teams that got left out either.
No were in my post did I say IU sucked.
But do you sincerely believe if they had played in the SEC they would be in the playoff picture?
It's not the SEC championship. It's the playoffs for the national championship. That means teams from all over.
How many March Madness runs, and titles are you willing to put an asterisk by in basketball? Up until very recently SEC was pretty much cake walk city, especially for an elite blue blood. I don't recall a whole lot of fans saying "guys, we really should really look at this differently. We didn't come out of the big east or ACC. We dog walked over football schools who couldn't find the basketball gym with a map on a guided tour."
No... it's a national tournament with teams from all over. Some had easy roads, some had hard roads. Some play this style; some play that style.
I think Crackina beats either one by 10+. I am not sure ND finishes 9-3 with their schedule either. But Ind missing all but 1 of top big teams was a fortunate break they took advantage of,Missouri had the same break and still managed to choke it away.
Get that but
This was his question
“But do you sincerely believe if they had played in the SEC they would be in the playoff picture?”
It would depend on which SEC teams they get on their schedule. Would they have the same schedule as Texas? Then they would have a shot. Florida's schedule? Probably not.
UK's best two seasons (2018/2021) was mostly because we had an easy SEC schedule. Go look at the records of the teams we beat those years. Not great.
No idea.
Unanswerable questions are a waste of time. We don't know what other P4 teams would do with an 8 game SEC schedule.
It is also not a criterion for the playoffs.
That's the whole point of a post season. Let's see what all sorts of different teams do against one another, so we can crown a champion. Sometimes that champ had a tough road. Sometimes the champ had an easy road but beat tougher teams with tougher roads.
It was fun just now to watch so many IU alumni boo their alma mater coming on the field bc theyre ND football fans
Hell no!! Wouldn’t have finished over .500. Alabama should be in instead of weak ass iu.
Watch ND’s offense they run the type of offense Kentucky should run. Maybe go get ND’s OC to be the HC
ND home game full stadium, very few IU fans able to get tickets. The visiting teams should get a sizeable amounts of tickets IMO, at all playoff ganes.
Not sure how true but heard 30-35% of OSU- UT tickets were bought by Tennessee Fans. ND with a huge pick near the goal line
