I’m guessing Indiana -3 to -3.5 by gametime.
It will stay similar. Indiana’s defense is as good as Oklahoma’s. Their offense is better.

Very true, power rating metrics are typically very accurate for conference play but not so much OOC. Eye test, those SP numbers seem about right to me.
I dont think Indiana missing two edge rushers will be a difference maker against gumps. They simulate a lot of pressure and will have Simpson looking like he did against UGA the other week. I also think the TTU/Oregon winner will get them, and if not them the OSU/UGA one will, they just dont have the depth

They beat OSU 13-10, and Oregon who themselves have beaten nobody.
Bama played 4 games against two of the best defenses in OU and Georgia. They are going to score against Indiana, not 33-40, but 23-27ish, the only question is will the allow Indiana to get to 30, they got to 30 vs. Oregon, but only 13 vs. OSU. so against the best 2 teams they are averaging 21 Bama against the top 2 defenses have averaged what 24, 21, 7 and 34 about the same and I think OU and Georgia are much better defenses than Oregon.
Its not like Bama will even be outmatched via talent. I still say in the UGA game DeBoer already knew he was in, or he never goes for it inside his on 5 on fourth and 3. Be a good game but its on grass, and it might be a tad warm. I say a 24-21 type game either way.

I don’t think this is the case. Indiana is projected to have 12-15 draft picks on their team this year
If I were DeBoer, my strategy would be to play tempo and try to force the game to be as many snaps as possible. Gumps have the talent edge if they can force it to where backups need to be rotated in, I think yall are at a disadvantage if it’s starters on starters

Indiana has played three of the top 10 talent composite teams in the country this year and is 3-0 so people should retire this line.
Michigan is the 11th ranked talent composite
Texas is 4
LSU is 6 and Clemson is 7.
Star rankings mean so much less in the transfer portal NIL world. .

The Heisman was a 2* and the runner up was a 0*. Strange new world.
Edit: I saw an interview on yahoo with Indianas 3x all American CB and it was pretty interesting. He talked about the talent jump from sunbelt to B1G and he said outside of some teams having generational freaks like Jeremiah Smith the only thing he felt different about playing at a higher level was the caliber of trench players

Alabama @ Indiana
Spread?
I hope it’s a lot.
There’s a lot of similarities between this game and Bama’s 1993 NCG with Miami. We were 8 to 9.5 dogs, people said we didn’t belong in that game, Miami had a Heisman winning QB.
Can history repeat itself?

Their QB will not be very good in the NFL, having lots of prospects means very little its all in what rounds etc. heck Bama has 12 prospects for 2026 itself.
If Bama played to their potential they would beat Indiana 8 out of 10. The problem, imho, the coaches are bad in game coaches. They do not adjust well, without those 2 or 3 mistakes OU made in the 2nd quarter coming back would have been hard.
But Indiana's defense is not OUs especially with their top player out.
Bama 30, Indiana 24

I think Bama wins 31-23 over Indiana.
