What Indiana is doing has been great for college football. The question becomes is this season for them an anomaly or the beginning of something sustainable ? I would definitely lean to the former as their roster certainly isn't built yet for the latter.

This is why players should be earning millions of dollars as soon as they reach the FBS because this is a violent sport and all it takes is one hit to ruin your entire career all the while you are making millions to billions of dollars collectively for your school as soon as you're about 18 years old

How many schools would cancel their football programs immediately. Very few could even entertain such an idea

and its still considerably better than Notre Dames (edit: actually i take this back .. i just looked up their big10 schedule and they've luckily avoided any team in that conference with a pulse so far)

Also, on another note entirely, there are rumors about Marcus Freeman being poached by the NFL.

He may be a fine coach but IU is NOT going to be an annual power in the B10. 7-8 wins will be their norm.

But isn't that better than what IU normally has done? For many years they would go 2 - 2 or 3 - 1 in non-conference games and then win 1 or 2 in conference. Since 1968, IU has beaten Michigan a total of 3 times (1987, 2020,2024). The last time the Hoosiers beat Ohio State was 1988.

David Pollack Names College Football Team Outside the Top Five That Can Win it All

I can't say Pollack is wrong.

If we are forced to pass and play in a scoring fest we're in trouble.

If we can just move the sticks and keep a lead we're a tough out.

If #2 gets some late season chemistry with RL we have a decent shot

I also believe ND can be a tough out ... The defense is playing a level not seen in a long time. The offense, while sputtering at times, is also showing signs of growth. The potential downfall would be special teams, specifically, the kicking game. The inability to convert FG's into points is an issue.
As 88 noted, if ND has to play in a shootout, that could be an issue. But, ND is also beginning to show signs of being able to push the ball downfield.
