Move Indiana into the SEC and see what happens. Cignetti had to win two games this games. Two. The rest were gimmes.


Indiana has been those gimme games for decades. That's what the big deal is.

OU or Bama will challenge them.


Nice words and I appreciate the compliment but we would get destroyed by this Indiana team. OU would too but less so.

Georgia matches up well with them though.

I was there as well. IU is damn good and they won that game by beating Ohio State not Ohio State beathing themselves. They are going to be a tough out.



Tight game. They just made the plays that had to be made barely more than OSU. Agreed 1 hundo, they will be a tough out for anyone.

The Indiana legend, Lee Corso.

He did so much with less at Indiana, he was the standard there until Cignetti.

Lee Corso with NIL money? He'd KILL it!

They've played an easy schedule and their 2 best wins were vs teams that didn't play difficult schedules either. None of those 3 teams have really been tested. They are good on paper.

So has Vandy. Hard to argue against Lea being even more impressive.

Exactly. He’s already 64 y/o. His wife is from Bloomington, IN. I don’t think he’s moving on to a bigger program. Maybe the NFL but I doubt that

Nick Saban certainly could not do it.
With equal talents, Mike Leach beat Saban

People said you couldn't win football at IU.

It's not really a 2 year coaching job seeing as he brought with him the entire team he assembled at JMU that went 11-1. It's really more like year 4

And, he has 20 5th year players on roster. I like watching them because they play good fundamental football but he didn't just put this together out of thin air. Repeat it for a couple of years and I'll the believe he is the football whisperer people make him out to be.

FWIW, Indiana was 9th in the B1G and 32nd overall in this recruiting class. Not horrendous but also not the foundation for numerous championship runs.
