Purdue/Indiana Prediction Thread

Run it up on them! The crowd needs to be shouting this after each TD:

56-0 IU. Get back to their mantra of fast, physical, and relentless.
 
It'll probably look a lot like the MSU game. Purdue will show competitiveness, for stretches. But IU is the superior team, and I suspect they'll be a bit anxious to prove themselves after last week.

If the weather were nicer, I'd have IU putting up 50+ on them. But I think it'll be lower scoring. Dominant win though, 37-12.
 
Good one!

Do you think we'll get one of the prime time slots (Friday or Saturday night) in the First Round, or the noon or 4p on Saturday Dec 21?
I’m still on the “we play 1/1 in Orlando against a 3-loss SEC team” train (especially if my score prediction is right—we still have the worst brand of any of the at-larges, and the committee will hold that against us).

But should we get in, it really depends on who we play that will determine when we play. If we play PSU, UGA or ND we’ll likely get one of the ESPN/ABC slots. Anyone else we get one of the TNT Saturday slots.

Since every college football fan in America will be tuned in all day to the games, I couldn't care less if they put us on PBS. There are going to be eyeballs.

I'm just holding out hope for a home game so I can guarantee that I'll get to see it in person.

Bowl game in Orlando would be a big disappointment to me.
Jmo..
 
This game is crucial and a no win for us.
If we lose, we are out of the CFP.
If we win close, 17-10, 24-17, we are on the bubble of being out of the CFP.
If we win big, 49-10 then we are in the CFP but a last one or two spots. People will say “they just beat another door mat”.

I'll be surprised and disappointed if we don't win by at least 3 touchdowns. Maybe weather slows us down a tick, but I am feeling a 41-10 type result. I believe Cig will want a big score. Hopefully we jump out by 2-3 scores quickly and cruise in the 2nd half and try to avoid injuries.
 
Well, if we can count on anything, it’s that you always pick us to lose, so the fact that you are predicting a win of any kind must bode well for the Hoosiers.
For the record, I've been dead on in my last two Indiana picks--I picked us to squeak by MICH 27-24 (we won 20-15) and to get beaten soundly by OSU 35-17 (we lost 38-15) and that we'd plummet in the CFP rankings (we fell from 5 to 10, and would've fallen below 12 had ALA and MISS not lost too). A little credit where credit is due.

It may not be the old Indiana to us, but it is still Indiana to the committee, with the worst brand name of any of the at-larges. That doesn't get fixed in a year. A squeaker (as I expect) will put us out of the playoff and into the Citrus against a snubbed-SEC team.

I like how you cherry picked the last 2 weeks, for the record, I’ve seen some of your predictions for our other games, mostly negative and wrong. But hey, I don't make predictions, and you are free to think whatever you want. I just don’t understand your constant Eyore approach.

I don’t really care what the committee does, and it’s a BS political committee anyway. All we can do is take care of business, if the best we can do against pu is your prediction, we don’t deserve to make the CFP anyway.

I went back and looked at my other predictions for this year--I'm 8-3 picking Indiana games (straight up). So I'm not totally negative on this team (I'm just two off their actual record)--but the last two I was really close to the actual score.

I've been a lot more negative in the past--but CTA gave me lots of reasons to do that. Unfortunately, I may need to start being a lot more negative about the basketball program. Sheesh.
