So sorry @C0ncreteBl0nde that was not a fun game to watch for you 🙁
I'm really shocked at how one sided it was

I haven't bothered to watch the last two games. I'll watch the finale. Or parts of it anyway.
IU needs to win this title now, barring any unforeseen injuries, I don't see how they won't, because they will not be this good again for a while, if ever, just my two cents...
Yeah, the pressure is on them, but they've been playing with a chip on their shoulders, and I think that will continue.
Well, honestly, that applies to both teams. I didn't think Miami would barely get into the playoffs and then go on the road to beat Texas A&M and then beat Ohio State. And let's face it, they should have gotten at least a couple of the four gifted interceptions in the Ole Miss game--which would have resulted in a rather large blow out as well.
So, does Miami try to play with its food in Indiani? Blowout loss for Miami.
Play up to the potential we saw vs. Ole Miss? Could be a good close game.
me thinks that UMiami is the underdog, not a good thing with M Irving, E James
and other U alumni or "thugs" on the sidelines, practice and ears of every h'cane.
there is no way this UMiami team has a chance against Indiana, correct?
but as a sports fan who looks at angles differently and not influenced by sports media dopes.
UMiami has a great chance if
they eat the clock as they did against all 3 teams,
run the ball for those 2nd and fives as they did against all 3 teams
swarm the passer, stop their running game as they did against all 3 teams (most of the game)
If the U takes an advantage on specials team and coach much better than as they did against all 3 teams,
they will beat anybody.

I'm not going to say they don't have a chance.
But the HOOSIERS look pretty formidable.

Gosh last night's game was brutal, i, for one, did not see that coming, I saw us losing to IU but not in that fashion, Ducks got out played and out matched from the start Moore looked lost, we had DE's playing RB because two players left in the portal (that needs to change btw should have to wait for the season to end) but all in all as a Raiders fan I think I saw our QB of the future unless we screw that up somehow
Wow... what a throttling. @C0ncreteBl0nde I am sorry your Ducks didn't fair to well. But, this is how I look at it, if the Hoosiers win it all, we at least got beat by the team that won it all. If they lose, I will be pissed lol...
I'm sorry you two ( @C0ncreteBl0nde ) but I did. They are the unstoppable force...
The good news is that U of M gets their *ss whipping next. 😉

"Hey GovRonDeSantis, how about a friendly wager on the national championship?" Braun asked.
"If IU loses, I’ll send you some pork from [Fischer Farms], which is in my neck of the woods in Dubois County, plus some pies from the famous [Wicks Pies], including a sugar cream pie (an Indiana favorite). Pork and pie for bragging rights. You in?"
"Mike — I am happy to oblige and am impressed with IU’s turnaround (thanks in part to a Miami kid at QB). But I am all-in for The U," DeSantis responded. "If Indiana wins, I’ll send stone crabs and key lime pie from [Joe's Stone Crab]. I will just drop them off in Naples or Marco Island since that’s basically Indiana south this time of year."
I think I am the only U'Cane🏈 fan in Naples or Marco Island admists a sea (or gulf) of UI logos.

Two people still basically control the fate of the CFP.
Big Ten wants a 24-team tourney. SEC 16-team.
I could $ee the argument for the former, which would sort of dovetail with the Top 25 polling, but it would eliminate conference championship games, take too much time, and make the whole thing less special.
OTOH, if they're going strip CFB of all the old traditions, as they've been doing slowly, then they might as well blow the whole thing up, quit messing around, and just establish the super league. Trying to have both detracts from both.

A tourney that long would almost have to be the entire season. That would entail at least 5 weeks maybe 6.
And yet that article states this:
Sorry but they're ruining CFP, the chasing after the almighty dollar has and is continuing to ruin the sport. I thought the 12 team playoff was too much, and yet they want a 24 team format in the future?

Looks like the grass isn't always greener - looks like some of these players are learning a life lesson
That was a good game. Glad Indiana won. My Ducks need to up their game if they expect to compete with these teams.
Congrats to Indiana, So happy they gutted out a win, it wasn't a guarantee, they definitely earned the win
Ducks need to just grab some great football seniors to solidify their team in the portal,
who needs to recruit anymore?
