Well Indiana played 7 teams this season that lost to the Hoosiers by less than 35 points…..including Old Dominion.

That Indiana team might beat 2019 LSU



That 2019 LSU team was very good, very skilled. Had good coaching. But they would lose to this Indiana team by a couple of scores.

Indiana just had a dogfight with an Ohio State team that lost to two loss Miami by two scores.

Let's at least see Indiana run the table before comparing them to 19 LSU or other NC winners

Probably not. LSU beat the #3,#4, #5 teams in the final CFP poll by 17, 35, and 27 points, respectively. In total, they defeated six teams ranked in the final top 13. Indiana, by comparison, has defeated 4 top 25 teams. Three of the victories were by 5pts or less. Win the next two games and then you may have an argument...a comparison now is premature.

I’d hold off making any conclusions before Indiana actually plays a team with a competent QB. Alabama is easily the worst team in the CFP playoffs by far and it isn’t close.

Im not ready to crown Indiana yet. Theyre a good team but not dominant IMO. They can.be beaten.

This was a very flawed Bama team that was not playing well at the end of the yeat.

QB carried Bama for many games this season. Wish that guy well and hope he does good at the next level.

Bernard and Horton are both monsters as well. Bernard is gone and I hope Horton is as well.

Bama had the same problem LSU did, but to a much lesser extent. Oline play was not up to the talent level of the positions. Hopefully that gets fixed for both of our teams.

They weren't playing good at the beginning of the year either.

They have beaten the #3, 13, 14, 21 QBs (by QBR per ESPN).
