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!!!
