Indiana is statistically ranked higher in almost every category. They hung with Ohio State (likely the best team in the country, they're the betting favorite to win it all)
All on paper. Who have those 2 teams played?

IU is a hell of a team. Physical and well coached. One of the few hard nosed teams in CFB.

OU was the same way and Bama found a way to beat them, but IU has a better offense.

Bama should have better talent overall on the roster, but so did tOSU.

At least the game is at a neutral site and Bama has beaten more good teams this year than anyone else.

One score game seems right. Hopefully Bama won’t spot them 17.

Now take Oregon out and tell me what you really know about battle-tested Indiana? Don't let stats fool you. They don't mean a thing. The near-death experience hasn't been felt by this B1G schedule, YET.



This isn't the mid 2000s Big Ten or SEC anymore. The Big Ten has won the last two National Championships.

You want the current odds for the National Champion? The top 2 are from Big Ten and Oregon gives them 3 out of 4.

+200 Ohio State
+310 Indiana
+550 Georgia
+750 Oregon
+800 Texas Tech
+2000 alabama
+2200 Miami
+2200 A&M

Once upon a time, the B1G was called "The Big 2 and little 8. Nothing has changed. Until they do, why should we start making these schedules more than they are? Calling them "Top-heavy" is being polite.

Call it whatever you want. They're significant favorites to win 3 National Championships in a row.

Once upon a time that was the SEC.

The Dynasty is dead and it's a matter of when, not if, they lose their 4th game this season and have back to back 4 loss seasons.

Gotta have a Dynasty in order for it to die. At least Bama fans got to experience it. Auburn fans never will.

So you’re telling me a team with 3 losses, thats in the playoffs, that only one team can win, may end up with a 4th loss? What a revelation!

Thoughts are if you’re betting on Alabama you best get in now as the line will shrink.

The metrics nerds all say it's low. Say it should be 11.5.

The name brands are keeping it closer.

Just feels like Alabama will win imo

Remove their toughest game, on the road too, how convenient.

Iowa on the road and destroying Illinois both ranked opponents. Beating Penn State on the road, preseason #2 and despite their record have 5-6 guys that will be drafted in the first 2 rounds.
