These guys are the most cocky group of fans I've ever seen for a team with no success literal ever before last year. And there's nothing wrong with having some confidence. They're a very good team. But their fans legit get mad if you suggest they won't win by 30 points. Guess we will see when they play the game.

Indiana is like ‘we’re from Indiana….and we’re gonna move’”

The funny thing to me is how much of the Rant and MSB are in agreement with them.

There’s no point in talking football with people who know nothing about it.

Y’all read the rant?

You could go to a special needs home if you wanted to listen to the mentally handicapped and you’d feel a lot better about yourself for giving back.

Everyone wants bama to get schooled so they can somehow have some reason to cry about them being in again. It's a never ending race to scream the same talking point

This. It’s like a race to see who can make the most outlandish comment about Alabama being in the playoff. And if we lose in the Rose Bowl, the same cast of characters will be trolling us. Amazing how the media obsesses over seeing us lose or hoping that we will lose.

By all the advanced metrics, this IU is the highest rated team since 21 and 22 UGA.

Those sites are supposedly adjusting the metrics according to competition but I find it hard to believe any algorithm can compensate for how incredibly awful the B10 was this year outside of three teams.

Just don’t point out that they are 3-2 in what can be considered big time games that past 2 years. And that includes a win against a 8-5 Michigan team. But in every single big time game they have either gotten waxed, or barely won, but they are going to beat us by 3 TDs???

They may win, but they aren’t blowing us out.

I’ve been to a lot of states. When people ask what the worst place that I’ve ever been to, I always say Indiana. It’s like you can feel the depression in the air. There is nothing redeeming about it. The food is terrible. Their famous dish is a big fried pork tenderloin with raw onions on a hamburger fan. frick Indiana.

The definition of a flyover state. Alabama certainly has its drawbacks but Indiana is as boring as watching paint dry.

Going to the Indy 500 is on my bucket list and except for the result I have fond memories of going to South Bend for our 1987 game with Notre Dame, but the state as a whole is meh.

As far as their fans, we’ll be in Pasadena on Jan. 1, I’m sure they will too, we’ll see then who belongs in the big leagues.

It’s because the majority of the games played in their anemic schedule, they’ve scored 30+ points. However, their games with better opponents were much closer. But, I doubt they respect Bama very much. Heck, feels like our own fanbase doesn’t even respect this team very much due to the way things have played out. Will be crazy if we do win out.

Things we found it in the 1st round:

We have a pulse offensively.
Our defense looked fast and rabid.

... what we found out about others:
-Miami has a fast and rabid D as well as a run game.
-Ole Miss and Oregon both have nice offensive schemes.
-Both Ole Miss and Oregon struggled to contain Group of 5 offenses.
-TULANE over 400 yds
-JMU over 500 yds

We will find out about OhioSt and Indiana defenses. I feel we have a D that is peaking just like uga is. If we can put together a little run game, we have just as good of a chance as any. I just don't think those B1G defenses are going to be enough. I might be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.

I think Indiana is a very good, possibly great team. They didn't play a completely soft schedule - they beat some good teams - but their schedule spaced them out very nicely.

We need a big game from the defensive front. I think Mendoza can be hit and discombobulate their offense. However, he's been clutch in their struggle wins and two CFP opponents.

I think this game comes down to who can affect the passer more and Alabama is at a disadvantage there because our OL is truly awful.
