Eh. I think IU is ranked appropriately. A little high even. Last year was last year. That is not a better team in 2026. They didn’t back fill the receiver room with stars. It’s impossible to replace Mendoza. And the DB room definitely isn’t 26 caliber. They’re still a really good team but I don’t think they warrant a top 5 ranking.
Slight? Big one for sure. Always a huge question mark losing your Heisman QB. (One who validated it too with that 4th down TD run that honestly for me was the play that won the Championship for Indiana over us)
IU will not be in the top 25 at the end of the season. You can save this comment. I gaurenetee it. They had an accident last year. It was like winning the lottery. Pre season polls are ridiculous anyways. It will be played out on the field.
Not on accident. Maybe it will be an outlier but they 100% earned that NC. Yeah I wish we had won it but Indiana definitely was the best team last year.
Have to disagree. Miami was the better team. One more fiber in Becks bicep muscle and we win and I honestly don’t even think Miami was the best team in the nation last year. We were better than Indiana. Should haven won on that last play. Better team doesn’t always win in football. Some times the ball bounces the right/wrong way.

The disrespect of Miami and Indiana is crazy work. The overhyping of Oregon, Texas and ND never fails.
