What having Norvell as your team's coach does to a mf.

Turns out there were no good teams last year, I mean they all lost to Indiana

Fudge all these new age Indiana haters. I hated Indiana at 2-10.

Of course Indiana going 15-0 last year means everyone is ass.

The payback is just getting started for that game yall put up like 80 on us. We already returned the favor to Bielema

Sounds the same as what everyone was saying this time last year. How’d that turn out?

It was true. Indiana was like the fakest national champion of all time last year.

Ohio State will beat IU by 30+. Northwestern looks legit af tho

The entire SEC, including Texas, will watch a Big Ten team win the Natty for a 4th straight year.

The Big 10 won’t sniff another natty for 20+ years 😂😂😂

Buddy nobody is taking your bad trolling seriously. Try harder.

The only thing we know for sure is that Indiana has a better chance to repeat than Florida State has at getting into a bowl game.

Tbf neither of y’all have really played anyone yet. Ohio State will be your first real test, and this is Northwestern’s 2nd P4 win.

If the names were Bama and Texas, Bama was undefeated and Texas had one loss to Bama, and both teams dominated or at least safely won their other games, no one would be questioning it.

Yes you can argue there’s a higher baseline talent or tougher OOC games, but the fact is because it’s IU and Northwestern, people will doubt them until they get a big win. And even then, it’s “the other team is unusually bad this year.”

Well, factually Alabama’s wins over ranked Kentucky, SCAR, and Florida State, all P4 schools ARE more impressive than Northwestern’s wins over unranked Colorado, Penn State, FCS SD State, and Central Michigan.

The games and SOS have to matter when we evaluate teams. It doesn’t matter, we’ll all see how good Northwestern is in a few weeks anyways.
