I hope we crush them but it will likely be very close.

Fans of other teams - thoughts?

It does help that we are slowly getting healthy.

Indiana is a great team and plays hard.

Destiny is on their side this year.

Defense is fricking nasty.

I don’t disagree. But the layoff could hurt Indiana (or not).

Also, love Bama or hate them, because of the fairly tough schedule Indiana is not going to scare Bama.

Indians is just strong everywhere.

Gonna be a hard win to get.

Agree Bama has been battle tested.

I think its going to be a very good game. At the end of the day Indiana is going to play cleaner, more consistent football and win because of it.

Absolutely no one will be giving Bama a chance in this one, we win by a score. 31-24

alabama has three straight games in the 200 yard range on offense. It's not sustainable for the entire playoffs.

The spread is -6.5 or -7 Indiana on the betting sites. I haven't seen them that big of an underdog maybe since pre-saban.

The Big Ten has proven to be the cream of the crop the last 2 seasons. It could've been three in a row if Ohio State makes the field goal against UGA in the 2022 Peach Bowl.

Heisman winner at QB that'll probably be the #1 overall pick, top 10 total offense, top 10 total defense, outmatch alabama in almost every statistical category. It's hard to pick against Indiana.

27-20 Indiana

When the discrepancy in talent is this big, I'm always going to take the more talented team. While that doesn't always play out, I always thought the winner of the OU/Bama game would get past Indiana.

Indiana is no doubt better on paper but I don’t know if they’re more talented as far as comparing who has the better athletes and more future NFL players (maybe I’m wrong, I haven’t taken the time to research it).

I thought for sure Ohio State would beat them but they didn’t so IU worries me. I still think we’ll win.

Ohio State has a lot more first rounders on their team than alabama does and Indiana was able to match up with them.

I think you got my comment way wrong.

I'm taking bama over Indiana. I would have taken OU over Indiana too.

Bama is #2 in the team talent composite. OU is 14th. Those are teams with enough talent to make their way through a 3-4 game playoff run.

Indian is 77th. In my mind they have no chance at winning the NC this year. I'll pick against them in every game.

Bama is going to out talent Indiana. Let them haters hate. Already setting trends in this playoff.
"Remember the Rose Bowl we'll win then". It literally in the fight song.
