I don't see Indiana beating 2019 LSU. That team had every position drafted in the 2020 NFL Draft. The may hang around but LSU would out talent them. Remember this Indiana team only beat Ohio State in the BIG Championship by 3 and that was with a young QB Sayin. Burrow with Chase and Justin would crave up this defense.

Cig has a College Hall of Fame Dad and was assistant of Saban. He seems to have learn how to be a great coach from his Dad and Saban. His team is very disciplined. He also see great players from smaller schools that a lot of Div 1 coaches over look because they don't have the stars. These players seem to play with heart and something to prove. He has a bunch of super seniors from the portal. Plus Billionaire Cuban helps with NIL. Not every school has all that. Oregon has Billionaire Knight and a lot of talented players but can't get over the hump. If Indiana wins a Natty. Then not only will the last 3 teams be from the BIG . They will be the Tri State region as what Ohio, Indiana, Michigan calls each other since they all are bordered to each other. But most importantly all 3 teams will have had several Senior leadership and starters. That seems to be the key is Senior Starters to win it all. That's what Penn State tried to do before they lost to Oregon and then fell to pieces. They had a bunch of Seniors that came back to try to win it all.

Guy at work who is a huge Indiana fan is going there and told me that all the Indiana fans in Atlanta will be like the Indiana Regiments with Sherman in Atlanta. He's a Civil War fan too. I'm like dude bad comparison. They playing Oregon . Not Georgia. The guy is weird anyways.

Congrats! If you win it all. Does Lane get a ring?

I've seen a defender late hit Julian Sayin right in front of BIG ref and no flag was thrown. BIG refs are Bad!!

Cig has learned from Saban.His team is disciplined and tough.
The transfer portal has helped him and Billionaire Mark Cuban is helping with NIL. If the transfer portal rules of sitting 1 year still existed than he wouldn't be where he is now but still close. It be hard for him to beat Oregon twice. Lanning will have his team ready. But I can see them winning the Natty.

Ole Miss could play the rest of the game with their 3rd stringers and still beat Tulane bad! If you have to have a G5 team in then just one team. Hell, I think Duke vs Ole Miss would be a better game. It's a shame 2 teams were left out for these G5 teams that are going to be beat bad!

Big Ten refs don't seem to be throwing many flags. Letting them play. Big Ten refs are known for not calling holding. They only called holding 2 times in 2 years against OL that was playing against Ohio St. defense.

If Alabama loses in a blow out. How much will Notre Dame cry about they should had been in instead of Bama?

As someone who lives in the North, I don't agree with the poster. Yes the BIG has won the last 2 Natties. But people are lying to themselves if they don't admit that the SEC is where the most talent comes from. Florida, Georgia, Texas and Louisiana all have some of the best talent in the nation for high school players. And they probably always will. Yes teams like Ohio State recruit great and the portal has helped a lot of teams be better like Indiana. But you also have to realize that teams like Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan State aren't going to get a lot of the best talent from the South because kids in the South don't really want to go to a college where it snows and is cold every winter. Sure you will have some go but the majority that can't get into Bama, Georgia, Florida or LSU will go to Miss State, Kentucky, and Arkansas. It's no different than if the SEC had hockey teams. The best hockey players will still go to Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Boston because that is where they are from. Yes as an Ohio State fan, I would cheer for any SEC team or any team to beat Michigan and I always will! It's how I was raised. Yes growing up my family would cheer for Alabama in games and my grandpa was a big Florida fan. If a team wasn't playing against Ohio State than I always enjoyed a great game matchup and it didn't matter what conference they were from. But Never for Michigan!
