5 Cincinnati | 88.06 | 6 0 | 65.00( 93) | 1 0 | 1 0 |
- An undefeated Cincy CFP snub looks like sure fire impetus for CFP expansion, to me.
- … especially if Both the ‘Crimson Tide’ and the Athens‘ own Bulldogs make it.
- Bearcats appear to need a tOSU or Sooner loss, otherwise it’s the 12-team expansion model?
- Or is it the Bearcat mascot not making enough NIL TV commercial appearances?
- Speaking of mascots, the ‘75 (or ‘76) IU cheerleading squad dressed one of their number in a cheesy Buffalo costume once, … for one game.
- The Indiana State Flag helmet graphics are way cooler, than a bad Halloween costume.

- Purdue’s defense showed what IU’s opportunity was. IU didn’t have a David Bell performance either.
- Iowa defense clearly had an off day. IU will see 3 Purdue QBs in Ross-Aide, and their improving D.

- Play the 102nd hardest schedule; send a Heisman hopeful to MSU, and play on New Years Day?; if only.
- 4th highest ranked ACC team. Colt’s HC Jim Caldwell did good things at Wake too.

28 LSU | 79.63 | 4 3 | 75.24( 8) | 0 0 | 1 3 |
- How did Ed O. have time for GFs? … with top 10 expectations.
- Even Ed O. got a transfer portal QB rental to score points — should IU look for a transfer portal QB fix?
- As Sabin has said, defense alone is no longer enough.
- Will a former Ole Miss quarterback pick his grandson’s head coach?
- I’m hoping we don’t hire another ex-LSU coach, at this time.
