We’re going bowling boys!

12 team playoff. Don't need to win out. 11-1 is playoff bound.... assuming a L @ OSU.
Depending on what happens, 10-2 might get us in. But I think we'd need to beat OSU or Michigan for that to work.
Our defense is our weakness.
Belicheck's son is the DC at UW. Think Bill helps him out?
Not sure. The next 4 games are going to be difficult to win and the defense needs to play better. They struggled setting the edge today and constantly allowed Northwestern to get the ball outside in space. Putting that aside we are a physical team (for IU standards), well coached, and Rourke can sling it. So…f#ck it, we’re the best damn team in the country.
Love the idea, even though those games may exceed my budget. But for the good of the program, I will sacrifice it.
Sadly, the more successful we are, the more realistic this becomes.
Ferentz never left Iowa. Bielema leaving Wisconsin set him back 10 years.
Let's wait and see.
Outside of OSU in Columbus, I don’t see a team that IU won’t legitimately compete with.
Purdue sucks. And at least this year, IU is on the level of most the other remaining B1G teams on their schedule.
It we win out, it wouldn't matter if Bama lost today or not.... we'd be in regardless and probably a top 4 seed (that would be with wins against OSU and Michigan plus whoever would play in the conference championship).
If we win 10 games, we're gonna be in the discussion. Frankly, I'm just happy to be bowl eligible this early into the season and not have to wait until the Purdue game to get our 6th win.
Michigan isn’t that great this year. They benched their QB yesterday in their loss to Washington. And they can’t steal signs anymore. I feel like that’s a game Cig wants bad. And it’s there for the taking.
I have to think at 63 it’d take a lot to pry him away from IU. I don’t know what his contract is like - is there a buyout?
Not saying it won’t happen - some of those SEC schools desperate for a winning coach can back up the Brinks trucks - but I feel like IU might be in the drivers seat in keeping him around.
Were Cignetti to resign from his position before the end of his contract, he would owe Indiana a continuously decreasing amount of money in the contract’s lifespan:
>> $8 million until Dec. 1, 2024.
>> $6 million the year after.
>> $4 million the year after
IU football coach Curt Cignetti's contract is scheduled to pay him at least $27 million
Curt Cignetti will make $3.5 million across the first year of his deal, with that number rising by $100,000 each year for six years.

If you read the article, he has made and can still make a lot of incentives. Oh, and has already added a year to his contract.
I know I'm projecting (as are those who think differently) but I don't think money is going to be his primary motivator.
I think I’m projecting in a similar way you are. Based on what I’ve read and heard, I think he likes the idea that IU gave him a shot to build something special at a power 5 school.
Who knows though. He’s 6 games into his first year at IU.

I’m going to drop it after this as it’s silly to be Debbie downer when good stuff is happening but it doesn’t have to be about money. Florida Florida state is different in every way from iu and if you wanted to test yourself it’s a different experience
IU should be favored in all those games except OSU and there I think the spread will be < 6
Take the points!
Speaking of Debbie Downer, i remember last year’s FSU bowl game. Would IU have that problem?
