Only way to bet that game is to follow where the late money comes in closer to game time. If it’s a big shift towards Bama, the sharps know something. If it swings further out towards IU, it’s set up as a sucker’s bet. I think it will be a one score game until garbage time

You do realize that 2’s and 3’s got record amount of snaps in that game, right?
You do realize that if you're so sure ? Bet it.
You remind me of the point where I have to tell a "boss", or my wife, to quit fricking arguing with me. Because you're arguing against the wrong person.
If you know how this game is going to go ? Bet it. Telling me, continuously, how its going to go with the same phrase over and over again means nothing. Literally.
If you know ? Bet it. We'll know if a few days. Until then ? You're doing the "repeat it over and over again until you believe its true" bullshite.

They’ve done both against Big10 teams. TCU looked the part a couple of years ago. They did not look the part when they ran into UGA.
1. There is no Georgia 2022 in this CFP.
2. 2025 Ohio State and Oregon are far better than any team that TCU team beat save Michigan.
3. TCU literally needed two defensive TDs and two more fourth down stops from their defense inside the five yard line to beat Michigan and Michigan still had the ball with a chance to win at the end.
4. Alabama can't run the football and at this point you are what you are.

One difference and it may not have an affect but playing Alabama in the Rose Bowl is a big deal and they have never been on that stage. The magnitude of this game will be felt by them when they come out of the tunnel.

Yep but is Indiana paying anywhere in the ballpark of someone like Ohio State for their roster or are they just paying mid NIL money for a Big 10 or SEC school and just producing more spending less NIL than the other top programs?
Good question and I think time will tell. But while NIL is a nice weapon if you have the donors to fund it, NIL alone won’t win championships. Culture and coaching (which is a big driver of culture) remain as necessary ingredients, and in this regard Coach Cig should be commended.
But to be clear, without NIL we probably wouldn’t be talking much about Coach Cig or IU.

No, he was saved by an awesome catch.
What would.have happened if the defender just caught him and carried him out of bounds? Hell even a good shove would have worked.

The typical SEC message. Which is it? SEC teams are battle tested or they are worn out? You can't have it both ways. Big 10 teams are told they don't get battle tested because the Big 10 isn't as good as the SEC (I'm checking whether Oregon, Ohio State or Indiana have any losses on par with Florida State). Now, it's they are well rested? The SEC fan base is laughable.

If they lose the Natty again this year and the Big 10 wins 3 in a row....the SEC is a joke with their holier than thou attitude...

The SEC fanbase seems to have forgotten what happened last year. Every argument they make about the SEC strength was made last year. How did the SEC do last year? Tenn got embarrassed. Texas was very, very close to losing to ASU (and should have if targeting was called properly). Bottom line - the SEC was not impressive last year. But maybe the new talking point (it's really an old one) is that SEC teams wear each other out by the time the playoffs come?

Notre Dame took out Indiana, Georgia and Penn State to face Ohio State in the Natty....Ohio State took out Tennessee, Oregon and Texas to face Notre Dame in the Natty....no SEC could beat either one of them because SEC teams dont have the stamina....and thats fact and will be proven again this year.

I think Bama fans are extremely confident going up against a team that has stopped the run all year and has pressured the QB all year.
The joke is going to be on Indiana. Alabama doesn't have a run game to stop; they've probably never seen wizardry like that.

So the cross conference play indicates OSu and Indi probably are slightly less than advertised……
Alabama also played Wisconsin and won 38-14. It was 21-0 at HT.
One of Wisconsin’s TD’s was a kickoff return in the second half. Ty three for 382 yards and was on the bench by the 4th Q.
Indiana beat Wisconsin 31-7. Mendoza threw for 315 and it was 10-7 going into the 3rd Q.

LOL, lost any credibility you had with that. Big Homer we’ll see.
BTW, Vandy destroys Iowa in a few days.
They are impressive, this Iowa team, I watched them in their come from behind victory by last second FG over Michigan State.
That Michigan State who went winless in the Big whatever it is.

Wisconsin improved over the year, especially with the emergence of Posa.

SEC fans are thinking of Minnesota when they talk about Iowa.
Iowa is a really athletic team.

I’ll be surprised if a bunch of 3 stars sprinkled with a few 4 stars and beat a determined, focused, battle tested Bama team loaded with 4 and 5 stars.
Take the points and Bama rolls.
Uh, where were they when UGA steam rolled their asses and OU beat them in their house. This ain't your daddy's Bama. This team lacks a killer instinct.

The top half of the teams in the SEC could beat either of them. are my eyes deceiving me or are they just not that impressive?
I see the opposite. We’ve seen bama get manhandled by a 5 win FSU team, need a miracle to beat an awful South Carolina team, destroyed by UGA and showcase a struggling offense much of the back end of the season. Indiana and Ohio State whoop Bama by at least two scores. They are both more physical than Bama and will bully them off the line.
UGA is the SECs only hope for a Natty.
