ESPN has ND 10th in spite of losing at home to 28.5 point underdog NIU….

If IU wore ND uniforms we would probably be a top 15 team..LOL

[LIHoosier 25,751]

There's one coach out there respecting IU...

Didn't want to start the game thread (we haven't had much success when I've started them lol), but IU opened as 1.5 favorite over UCLA per FanDuel

Strangest thing, you beat somebody’s brains out and your performance scores are pretty high,

[Artie86 1,851]

Pretty cool seeing the BIG IU truck loading up for UCLA....

30 hours, 0ver 2,000 miles. The new reality

 This article has one expert, Bill Connelly, putting IU in the top 12 season’s end, playoff pick at # 11 after 3 games….

Up to a whopping 7 points in the latest coaches poll

Edit: and 13 votes in the AP poll, effectively 34th

[LamarCheeks 17,888]

Didn't necessarily think we'd crack the Top 25 -- nor did I think we necessarily deserved to -- but I thought we might get more than 13 voting points. 

Oh well, maybe better to stay a little UTR.

In terms of getting votes and support in the polls, history is definitely not on our side.

[Stuhoo 79,485]

Worth noting:

We brought in WRs Miles Cross, Myles Price, and Ke-Shawn Williams from the portal…

on the same day.

 

That was a helluva day.

 

[Artie86 1,851]

How many on here (besides myself) are wondering if upcoming teams on our schedule are now looking at IU and thinking, "Crap, ,.....this one's definitely, not gonna be easy!"..?

Yeah, and 3 different polls have IU (AFCA Coaches) 40th, (CBS) 37th and (AP) 34th. 

Just keep winning.

Speaking of receivers, was McCulley playing on Saturday?

Yes, but only on the goal line package. He drew a pass interference call in the end zone on his only target, which was excellent.
