I'm glad we're going to be in but it still strikes me as odd that our "bowl game" after this great year is going to be at an opposing team's stadium that hardly any of us will get to attend. Have to win that one to get a traditional bowl game.
It is odd. But money talks. Just win the first one.

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”.
TBH, our team is a warm weather team. Ha. I'm not worried about going on the road after gaining this experience.
Plus, some have us playing at ND in the first round. Ha So... my point may be moot regardless.
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.
I would be ok with any of that at this point. Except for Purdue, we have been playing big boy football since the UM kickoff.
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.
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.
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.
