To be fair, prior to Cignetti these games would have been toss ups.

Is this supposed to mean Big 10?
That’s a “G” not a “0.”
Maybe it could mean “Big 1,” but almost certainly not “Big 10.”

This is how you win now Cignetti was just one of the first to figure it out. You don't win with 18 or 19 year olds anymore. The recipe for success has been laid out in the 12 team playoff era:

Don't play anyone with a pulse out of conference
Use portal to load up on 23. 24, 25 year olds that are simply going to big boy the 18 and 19 year old 5*'s

Indiana plays in the B1G. They don’t need the OOC SoS like the SEC does with their weak conference schedules




Loaded conference schedule with playoff contenders like Northwestern, Rutgers, Purdue, Nebraska, and Minnesota

By 3 different schools.

Big 10 has “Hardware-Depth”


That's cute

Half the SEC has won a natty in the past 30 years. 8 out of 16 schools.

Big 10 only has 4 out of 18 schools that can claim that.

Your question doesn't allude to that at all. Also, who's really the bitter one at the moment?

Excited to see how titles continue to track in this new epoch.

Could be a challenging era for the SEC.

Lots of potential heartache for folks in the South.

It isn’t me if that’s what you think. But living in B10 country for the end of the 7 in a row was something else to see.

Yes I noticed you were a BG fan but you still seem bitter (for other reasons obviously).

SEC fans from the absolute bottom to top have put so much in to conference pride, way more than B1G fans have recently and now its a bit comical to watch the script being flipped.

“beat Bama by 5TDs in the playoffs last season”

Having heard this so many times since that game was played I’m convinced it was a much bigger accomplishment than Indiana actually winning the natty!!

Oh yeah the irony isn’t lost on me. It’s nice to see the B10 be more than OSU+1

I mean they beat a team who had a dynasty level run by 5 TDs. It's a big deal. It's a compliment in a way since Bama was so good for so long.
