ESPN has released its 2024 FPI ratings and projections. IUFB (-2.4) is setting last in the conference and 77th overall. Things FPI most likely doesn't factor and probably should if it doesn't. Coaching change past four year history and transfer portal replacements (starters on previous schools and history of school player transferred from). I could be wrong though the FPI system might actually factor that in. I'm bringing this up because JMU (2.6) has a better FPI than IUFB at 51st and history of the previous seasons makes a difference in these ratings. Someone like Rourke is more than likely an upgrade over Sorsby. Especially if you look at the history between the two of them and should by all accounts add value to IUFB's FPI rating. IUFB's receiving core is also a major upgrade that most likely didn't get factored into the FPI equation. The history of defensive transfers is an upgrade in my opinion. IUFB overall is probably in better shape than it was last year but that will all be decided on the gridiron come this fall. Point being this FPI rating will change once the world sees just how much of a problem IUFB is going to be for whoever plays them. And I can't wait! Everything you need to know about FPI here. Posted this for receipts.

Jaylen Bell committed. A big get in my opinion.

Is there any way you can change your seats?

"I like winning. And I hate losing." -Coach Cig https://x.com/AdamBreneman81/status/1794422899245449360

Giving IUFB some love.

Week 1 odds dropped today. IUFB -18.5 favorite vs. FIU.

A pretty decent interview overall. If you've been paying attention to Coach Cig since the hire some of his comments you already knew. But there was some new stuff in there as well. Breneman: "How's the NIL support been at Indiana?" Cignetti: "It's really good. It's a lot more than what I was promised. I'll just put it that way."

NCAA, Congress (legislative) and US Judicial made their beds. Until we see changes at those three levels (legislative in particular) this will be common practice. Every athlete will shop in this environment. I would do the same. And if this happened to me by a company today you better believe I'd lawyer up. Especially with that kind of money. Let's just hope IU doesn't get caught up in this kind of stuff.

That is correct. My apologies. Thanks for the correction.

I am bullish with IUFB 24. We've stacked the roster with proven winners. Granted they're winners in G5, but winners nonetheless. By doing that it creates the culture of winning in the locker room and I won't be the least bit surprised to see something we're not accustomed to this season. For example, winning close games. We had 4 one score losses and lost to PSU by 9 last year. I understand that was a completely different roster but it was also a completely different coaching staff and culture in the locker room. I foresee IUFB winning at least half of our close games if not all of them. No self-imposed limitations. -Curt Cignetti

To be fair, I'm not sure if he was assigned to Marvin Harrison Jr. but the 4th overall pick in this year's NFL draft only had 2 catches for 18 yards against his team. He did have a PD that game as well. Considering how bad things were last year, he was probably one of the players on the team that was above average. But yeah, I get your point. Aaron Casey was definitely a standout player for IUFB '23. Maybe Jaylin Lucas? But he was a disappointment for me personally. He had a better '22 season in my opinion.

Made the cut.

Just looked at the B1G schedules and Rutgers got a gift from the gods. 8 wins isn't out of the question for them.

It's his second visit from what I understand. UGA dropped out and he had an OVC available. He must have a really good relationship with Coach Sunseri.

He's basically talking about IUFB. These comments make me wonder if this is a good overall strategy. While I completely agree with what he's saying that's not what is happening. Players are shopping. LSU had 27 enter the portal. Does LSU not have the cash flow?

A good replacement to fill the Blidi hole. LSU's Brian Kelly has a certain value placed for the position. NIL is so interesting. He also missed out on Blidi.

Ok now we need Khurtiss Perry to hop on this wave.
