The only reason the spread is as small as it is is because of the names of the 2 programs. IU is realistically 2 TDs better. This is coming from someone who expects Bama to fall backwards into a win.

Indiana beat the two most talented rosters on their schedule (Penn State and OSU) by a combined 6 points. All credit to them, they won those games, but it'll be interesting to see if they can play their game against 'Bama.

I didn't mention Oregon because I haven't watched one down of their games this year, so have no clue how good they are either.

So the 1 seed doesn't even get a home playoff game and had to face withe OU or Bama in their opening round? How does this make sense at all?

Last year, the 1 seed had dot face Oh State. Why not just heve a G5 play-in game and then that winner gets the 1 seed. Wouldn't that be much more equitable for the top seed?

A free pass into the 2nd round, playing at best an 8 seed, is a pretty good deal.

Lol. Penn state isn’t more talented than oregon, and they weren’t as good either.

Indiana has an elite defense and an elite offense, tier 1 run game and pass game. They faced 3 top 10 scoring defenses on the road or at neutral sites, beat two top teams, and according to you, the second most talented team they played.

Alabamas run game isn’t going to test Indiana, they’ll have to beat them through the air, something Ohio States army of NFL players could not do. Alabama will find it difficult to sustain drives.

Finally somebody with some sense. Everybody penciling this in as a Bama win is hilarious. Indiana is legit as frick and has the best coach in the league on 2 weeks rest. Bama still has 0 run game. Simpson wont be able to do it all himself again like he did against OU and the hoosiers wont piss down their leg on special teams like the sooners. Give me hoosiers -6.5 all day

Odd post considering IU bullied Oregon in Autzen, and Oregon is more talented than Penn State.

I like how you’re ignoring the second biggest CFB win this season because you’re too ignorant about one of the most talented teams this year

At least you admit it

I didn't ignore it, I just admitted to not watching Oregon. They're talented on paper, but their schedule is just as bad as Indiana's, so there's no way to know how good they actually are.
