San Gabriels top out at 10,064..... That's one hell of a hill.

How will Bama lose to Indiana when Indiana only has 7 blue chippers on their whole roster while Bama has 64 blue chippers? Bama is the #2 talent composite team while Indy is the #72 talent composite team. This might be a beatdown.

Y'all have a hell of a coach and seem to be on a historic run. Will be a great game.

You’re a troll but I’ll be honest, Indiana could very well beat bama. The cig has done a fantastic job with that program. If it turns into a shootout I think bama loses. But I think it’s rock fight for 2-3 quarters then a wild 4th and bama comes out on top 31-27.

I don’t think Indiana is winning either. I do think it will be a close game throughout. The Vegas number is enticing the Bama base to bring it down and I bet there will be enough of them who bets Bama to impact the final line

Yeah, Bama isn’t typical Bama, but they’re still better than Indiana. Ole Miss fan here, but I’m looking forward to seeing the Big Ten’s shining star go down.

Meh, and Indiana has beaches in the northern part and plenty of hilly forest in the southern part. Basically the same as Alabama just geographically reversed.

Lots of flyover states have pretty natural areas. They're still flyover states because theres no major economic and population centers that demand large amounts of steady travel from the outside world.

Indiana has a good bit veteran players. They had a bunch of incoming transfers who were RS Jr and RS Sr players. Like over 20 players.

Alabama has a good bit of seniors on defense though, especially our secondary. But our offense is pretty young.

And Alabama is in the middle of a somewhat large transition so even though we have talent, they aren't all exactly built for the current Alabama system.

I'm still not buying Indiana though. I think Alabama can win if they play a good game and don't make a bunch of mistakes.

Here is the interesting factoid about this game that no one can deny.

Measure the last 4 years of recruiting both from high school and portal. How much NFL quality talent on each squad?

Indiana will be facing a team that beat Georgia.

JMU scored 34 on Oregon. IU squeaking past the Ducks was impressive
IU squeaking past Penn St was impressive
IU squeaking past “The Ohio State University “ was impressive.

IU will not squeak past Bama.

BAMA has given up 50+ points twice (both to tenner and one was a 5 OT game) in over 110 years).

Indiana gave up 50+ points in back-to-back weeks in 2015.

People on Xwitter saying IU is scoring 50+ are insane.

Indiana is a very good football with great coaching coupled with good talent. Bama is beat up and erratic even when healthy.

I have hope for the win, but it's going to be a challenge.

I feel like it is one of those games that could play out a blowout either way, a close shootout, or a defensive struggle.

Actually pretty excited. The Crimson bracket (Bama, OU, IU) was the coolest.

Really hope Bama catches some football god mojo points for the 100 yr anniversary of their first Rose Bowl win.

depends which team shows up...If its the Indiana team that just beat Ohio State...then yes. If its the Indiana team that could barely beat Penn State by 3 and Iowa by 5.....then Indiana's in trouble.
