Who is the better underdog, feel good, story of the season?

Indiana or Ole Miss?

Chambliss or Mendoza?

Most everyone will be cheering for Indiana and Ole Miss to win their semifinal games.

TV ratings are clamoring for an Indiana vs Ole Miss Final.

If that happens ... fair warning. Most of the country will be cheering against the SEC.

Pete Golding is much more likeable than Cignetti.

Trinidad Chambliss is much more genuine than Fernando Mendoza.

But the press has made Mendoza their media darling. (He regularly attends Mass and prays the rosary with his teammates and, in case you didn't know, he loves animals, his Momma, and all hungry children.) https://www.christianpost.com/news/indianas-fernando-mendoza-gives-glory-to-god-for-championship.html Notre Dame fans even love him.

If Ole Miss were to win it all it would be a dagger to the hearts of all the SEC haters out there.

B1G fans are already touting Ole Miss' connection to Dixie, the Confederacy, meh "slavery" (as expected) billing the potential match-up as good vs evil.

Knock on wood but I hope Ole Miss pulls it off.



Lane may benefit, that's fine, he'll deserve some credit ... but there's another facet to that as well.

This could all get very interesting.
