It's coming folks. We're going to get an expansion. Now it's just a matter of when and how many. My dream formula is the following. 16 Team Playoff Conference champs get automatic bids. That means 10 schools are in. Remaining slots are at-large bids. That article I posted mentioned 24 teams and if we ever see that in our lifetime I think I would have died and gone to heaven. Because we're talking about a playoff system that would pretty much include the schools that finished 3rd or 4th in a conference and just start peeking at the right time.

Oh man, I would be ecstatic if CFP went to 24 teams!!! https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/momentum-rapidly-growing-for-college-football-playoff-expansion-to-eight-or-more-teams/

I'm not expecting a step backwards per se. I'm just setting my expectations a little different than others. Like I wouldn't be surprised if our beloved Hoosiers start the season 2-3 or 1-4 or finish the season 6-6. But then again I also wouldn't be surprised if they start 5-0 or 4-1 or finish the season with 8 to 10 wins. I would be completely surprised if they have a losing season and don't go bowling. That last sentence is probably the feeling for most if not all of us IUFB faithful. And actually typing out that sentence fully explains the progress the program is going with CTA running this thing. It's awesome to be talking this way about IUFB. LEO

If we're being honest with ourselves there was absolutely nothing normal about the entire season last year. Yet another reminder to myself. I guess I'm just being cautiously optimistic. The culture is there and last year's wins help move this train forward and I'm ecstatic to be riding on it. LEO

While I enjoy seeing the respect IUFB is getting (ESPN's Way-Too-Early Rankings have them at 10) with these preseason rankings I have to remind myself that Ole Miss beat them in the bowl game and PSU was a preseason top 10 last year. Hopefully they continue from last year's success and don't lay an egg like PSU did last year.

Done.

The Dude abides.

Thanks for sharing. There's an uptick in DEs entering the portal. https://247sports.com/college/indiana/Season/2021-Football/TransferPortal/ So are some of these transfers also playing DT or OLB as well? I'm not sure I fully understand the position because Alfred Bryant is listed as an OLB but last year he played DE. And C.J. Person is listed as a DT but I recall seeing him playing DE. I suppose they're just defensive line positions in general? While I truly hate to see these cats enter their names in the portal I do like the amount of depth IUFB has at those positions. CTA doing his thang. Defense.

One tough schedule 09/04 - @ Iowa 09/11 - Idaho 09/18 - Cincinnati 09/25 - @ Western Kentucky 10/02 - @ PSU 10/16 - MSU 10/23 - OSU 10/30 - @ Maryland 11/06 - @ Michigan 11/13 - Rutgers 11/20 - Minnesota 11/27 - @ Bucket Game Can easily end up starting off 1-4. Glad to see they got Cincinnati home.

So let me get this straight, there are three McCullough's on Bloomington South's football team?

Awesome news! I hope I get to see him play down in the Evansville area. I know he's in Castle and Ev. North's sectional.
