I think if IU made the B1G title game, we'd likely still be a lock, regardless of a loss to #1 Oregon. I think we could play Oregon tight at what amounts to a semi-home game.
IU had best not take this upcoming game with Purdue too lightly. Looking ahead to the playoff and nighttime temperatures at game time hovering around the freezing mark could create an opening for our arch-rival to become the “Spoilermakers”.
They did...until the past couple of year$. Question for the panel. Have we ever had a game where we tailgated before a game but after dark? Cannot think of one because all of our night games have occurred before the clocks change in my memory. Also, plenty of games ended after dark, but have any started an hour and a half after dark?

Is this a safety issue in the grass lots? I've been over there after dark, and it's dark dark.
Russia doesn't have a chance of 'winning', either. Fighting is not going to stop just because we cut off aid. Ukraine will go elsewhere and continue fighting, even if occupied.
What makes the most sense is for Putin to declare he's obtained his objective of destroying Nazis and agreeing to non-militarized areas that he's currently invaded.
And this is where the CFP committee, the NCAA and all of these mental midgets running things don’t proactively think these things through. It’s like they just try to figure things out as they go along.
The CFP is the top tier now. You absolutely want to make the playoff over any bowl game (not a part of the CFP) obviously.
But to host these first round games in stadiums OF THE PARTICIPATING TEAMS? That is asinine. You mean to tell me they cannot find 4 neutral site locations and give 50% of each of the tickets to each fanbase?
We seed teams in the NCAA basketball tournament but they don’t play those in a home arena. Why not do it for football?
It cheapens the whole thing to me. Now, it just looks like another tacked on regular season game at another stadium. Make it a neutral location where fans can travel and enjoy an actual “trip” with some fanfare around it.
It's a tiered system of rewards. Four byes, four hosts, and four visitors. People complained that watered down schedules prevent awesome matchups with sexy opponents or locations and that the playoff cheapens the regular season. This corrects both. Think how sick it would be to host Alabama at Memorial Stadium! Neutral site college football, outside of Pasadena, sucks and saps the traditions that make it better than the sterile NFL.
There are unwritten rules in proxy conflicts that you don’t strike the sponsor country of either side. China and Russia didn’t fire missiles at the U.S. homeland during Korea or Vietnam. We didn’t fire missiles at Russia when we were backing the mujahideen.
These latest actions are reckless and pointless. These missiles serve no useful purpose in helping Ukraine regain territory.
I have no reasoning for thinking it but something tells me they will pit IU against GA in Athens or TENN in Knoxville. Either will give IU a chance to improve upon their performance on the big stage against the big boys. If IU gets left out it will likely be Ole Miss or Bama in the Citrus.
Yes,if they are ‘stuck’ with taking us they will pit us against an SEC on the road. Thinking we will lose so they can use it to prove a point.
Yeah I know I’m paranoid.being an IU football for over 50 years will do that to you.
Pretty sure Wisconsin 1st DUI is just a civil offense on par with a traffic ticket. Think you need to get into the double digits of arrests before they start cracking down on you.
