I'll guess 6.5.
Gonna be a lot of shock and indignation around here when that line comes out but it will probably grow much quieter after Indiana pushes them around for 4 quarters

I think Oklahoma beats them. Bama won't.

Bama is used to those types games and they still have an absurd roster advantage. OU to a lessor extent, they are used to losing big games....

The lines are already out

FanDuel has IU -8.5 against OU and -6.5 against Bama

If Bama SOMEHOW manages to recapture the mojo they had when they played UGA IN Athens, they'll beat Indiana...

Not with the injury situation.

Midseason Bama I would take over IU straight up, this version no.

I think the part a lot of people are struggling with is Indiana has a lot of top end talent this year. They had 6 all Americans on the AP and I think 7 named across all outlets

Where the talent gap strikes is in the depth. They are down to a 3rd string defensive end as a starter now, I can’t see them beating 3 top 10 teams in a row with that

This is what the advanced computer models say:
IU 18 - OSU 26
IU 24 - Miami 23
IU 23 - OU 18
IU 29 - Oregon 23
IU 31 - UGA 24
IU 30 - A&M 20
IU 35 - Bama 21
IU 42 - OM 23

A rather big IF, wouldn't you say?

Metrics aren’t accounting for the loss of their star defensive end

But yeah, they can play with anybody this season

Gumps losing 35-21 to Indiana in the playoffs would create some all time melts
