So, what happens now in Bloomington

[TwinDegrees2]

Do the Hoosiers break out those IU/ND reversible jackets and cheer on the Irish now that we all know IU and "The Big Cig" were nothing but fool's gold this year?

Gonna' be a long sad year on the basketball court too.

A lot of money spent on a blown-up coach and a Canadian QB who we were told loved cold weather.

you left out a 24 yr old before Canadian

Could we get some of that 11-2 fools gold at Purdue? Even for one year?

Back to reality in 2025

It would be nice, but it's going to be very hard to do. Can't see the current coach winning more than seven or eight a year and most likely 6 will be the benchmark.

IUFB will be fine in 2025. There are "maybe" three games IU could lose - at Iowa, at Oregon, and at Penn State. So, 9-3 or 10-2 (not including a bowl game) will certainly not be "back to reality", and the bucket will stay in Bloomington.

Depends what their schedule is like. If they stack the cupcakes again then they'll likely have another faux season.. but if the teams have a pulse, likely .500 or middle of the pack.

Bucket likely comes back to Purdue as our new coach won't be the same walk in the park CRW was.

Other than 3 embarrassingly poor non conference games, I could see IU losing out the remainder of the season next year. Regression to the mean

As a Purdue fan I would have loved to be playing in a bowl game. Let alone the playoffs. So not really sure if it's fools gold. If they have a dud year next year then we will know.

No, the schedule gods seem to put us on the opposite end of strength of schedule

Even if IU would have a similar record next year, you know the CFP committee won’t make a similar mistake again.

Average margin of victory in this weekend’s games: 19.25

Average margin of victory in the ten CFP national championship games: 20.1

If Indiana is 11-1 again, then it means they have 8 conference wins from a group of Illinois, at Iowa, at Oregon, Michigan State, UCLA, at Maryland, at Penn State, Wisconsin, at Purdue... So they'd end up with road wins over Iowa, Oregon or Penn State as well... Yea that would easily get them into the playoffs.

So what do you think that points to, every year there's one really good team in college football and a bunch of pretenders?
