Drove past campus yesterday afternoon as I was out trying to secure an elusive Christmas gift and from my observation there were a lot of IU fans that seemed to be having a pretty good time. They will be ok.

Folks who are against DEI are racist and do not want blacks to be hired to the same positions as whites.

The programming that has taken place has taken hold in some and I seriously doubt that in two years DEI will no longer exist or be reduced significantly. I would love to be wrong, but too many have lapped it up. Even with a few more minorities voting for Trump, the democrats contain many that see themselves as victims as well as seeing them as needing more control over their lives. Unfortunately, MLK's concern for character is mostly found in history books

Weird. I see ND beat 4 top 25 teams at the time they played them?

I also see IU at 32 and ND at 38 for SOS. SMU at 60. But I guess espn must be lying to me?

I don’t get it. He’s got no chance to play there for 2 years. And if he sticks it out there, they could easily buy a guy from the portal who has actually played to start over him if he even becomes the backup there. He should be transferring down to actually play football.

Nah…ND beat one current top 25 team — A&M. Louisville was top 25 when ND beat them, but so was Nebraska when IU beat them. And ND had that home loss to NIU.

Anyway— ND has the worst strength of schedule of playoff teams and I don’t think it’s that close.

The strength of schedule needs to be a bigger part of the CFP selection process. IU's performance last night showed exactly what we all knew, IU did not deserve to be in the CFP. Cig's argument that they streamrolled their opponents doesn't hold water, since they beat the lower half of the CFP members this year. There is not a top 20 team that their team could have beat this year. I guess they can at least put up a banner that they made the CFP.

Here is a great USA Today article talking about this stupid CFP committee decision and there was no way that IU should have been in the top 12 for the CFP.

Indiana's loss to Notre Dame was College Football Playoff mistake that can't happen again

Forget about the meaningless late touchdowns, Indiana didn't belong in the College Football Playoff at Notre Dame. The mistake can't happen again.

Did notre dame not beat 4 top 25 teams? IU’s strength of schedule was propped up by playing at Ohio state, no? It was pretty awful until they played at OSU I believe.

Meh. It was coaching. 1000%

Not to say he’s great or ready to contribute at a school like Clemson but he was out there doing what he was told. It was bad and totally the wrong thing but he had no LBs to back him up and got benched a few times for making plays but not in the flow of what was called on defense.

We should be just fine without him but he’s a guy who still has potential to be good at the CFb level.

I think he means that Notre Dame had the same record and an easier strength of schedule leading to their playoff birth.

But when they played each other, Notre Dame was a much stronger team, and the talent disparity was big.

And what an incredibly, incredibly fantastic, enjoyable season for the Indiana Hoosiers!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all on this board!
