Need to hammer Michigan

Indiana would really bolster their CFP chances by not just beating UM, but hammering UM. I'm thinking Indiana probably needs style points and a 20+ point victory would obviously guarantee style points.

It would take a small amount of pressure off of the Ohio State contest, IMO. If Indiana thumps UM and Purdue, but narrowly loses to OSU in Columbus, I think we're a CFP lock.

That said, Indiana has plenty enough horsepower to win outright in Columbus. The two common opponents, Nebraska and MSU, played OSU closer than they played Indiana. Nebraska only lost by 4 points to OSU and lost to Indiana by nearly 50 points! I'll guarantee Indiana has the better coaching staff....Cignetti having an off week to prepare for OSU just might be the Hoosier prescription to victory!

What a season for Indiana football!!!

CFP rooting interests and other scenarios

-At this point need Miami to run the table. ACC is a one bid league unless SMU or Clemson win the ACC championship. 1 loss Miami likely gets in with their current ranking

-B12 is almost assuredly a one bid league but BYU running the table ensures it.

-We’re big Georgia fans the next two weeks. Georgia beating Ole Miss this weekend eliminates Rebels from contention and Georgia beating Tennessee the following week would allow the idle Hoosiers to jump the Volunteers assuming we take care of business this weekend.

-Penn St losing to either Washington or Minnesota to end the year likely ensures the Hoosiers are in at 11-1 assuming the one loss is to Ohio State

-Alabama/LSU is an elimination game this weekend. If Bama is is fortunate enough to escape Death Valley with a win, good chance they jump a few teams…IU included

-TAMU must beat Texas last game of the year to have a chance

My gut says the only chance an 11-1 IU team doesn’t get in is if a team like SMU upsets Miami in the ACC championship game and even then the probability IU gets in is still very high

Is there any better smell

Than from an open fire, from harvested hardwood trees from your own property. Split by hand. While setting under an inclosed 24x24 hip roof (much better than a gay pergola that some people still don’t have).
Smelling all of the Vanilla and deep chocolate aroma from the wood. While it has a deep, yet slow flame slowly rolling all of its essence into one’s nose?
Maybe even a very slight musk smell, that reminds of the sweat that created this heaven. Slight drizzle November rain in southern ish Indiana tapping on the tin roof.
What a perfect stage set, for a total Trump, and good people, landslide on this nov Election Day.
Thank the lord, that it will only take blue states, another 37 days, to count the votes that they’ve had for nearly a month now.
Never allow efficiency to get in the way of illegitimacy, when you need it. Whoa, there’s a hint of maple that nearly sticks to one’s tongue as you breathe in heaven.

I see that IU has only a 30% of beating OSU

Saw the B10 breakdown of upcoming games on ESPN earlier and much to his credit, Desmond Howard said that IU is going to give the Buckeyes all they can handle. They then showed a graphic of OSU’s remaining games and percentage of coming away with a win and they gave them a 70% chance to win against us. That might change, but given all we know I’d think 60/40 or even 55/45 would be a better prediction

I’m not going to say my score prediction, but let’s just say that if any of the two teams win going leg away, it’s not going to be the one in scarlet and gray.
