2025 IUFB Season

[realTomCrean 2,825]

How does a B1G tie-breaker work under these scenarios, given Ohio State loses to Michigan:

1. Iowa wins out (beats Oregon, USC)

Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State would have 1 loss

IU being the sole loss.

2. Oregon wins out (Beats Iowa, USC)

Michigan, Oregon, Ohio State would have 1 loss

IU being the sole loss.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Michigan's sole loss is USC in all of these scenarios. So, if USC wins out it would be Ohio State, USC, and Michigan with 1 loss (USC haven beat Mich).

Cig Monday presser:

Aiden is "probable" for the Maryland game.

Good news.

You type faster than me :)

The way Cig describes Maryland, and virtually all of our opponents, they should be ranked top 5…:)

He isn’t going to let the team relax against anyone.

Was listening to SVPelt and his betting sidekick Steve who contacted one of his Vegas guys to ask the OSU-IU line if the conference championship was held today.

My guess was that OSU would be favored by 3.5 but Steve’s Vegas guy said the line would be OSU favored by 7.  Higher than I thought but that’s why the games are played. 
 

First things first…..Beat Maryland!

Someone just asked at the end: Questionable.

That’s better than out for the rest of the season.

Game 8 in the books. IUFB 56 UCLA 6

The Nandolorian is something special to witness. He made some really impressive throws. He'll be a finalist for the Heisman. The D did what they do. Some players hit with some injuries during the game. Both Aiden Fisher and kicker Brendan Franke did not return. Mikail Kamara was evaluated in the tent during the game but returned. 

Next game: At Maryland

This is from Saturday, so sorry if it's already been posted -- but 'Nando seems to have a good head on his shoulders. 

Hope he stays that way.

Got six-day-windowed again for the Penn State game.

Probably an unpopular opinion here but I would love for Fischer to be available but not play this week

I agree. Maryland isn't gonna be a cakewalk, but I think IU can (and should) rest any questionable players for the stretch run.

Anything on Nowakowski? He left looking like he had neck pain after he had to hurdle the umpire to make a catch and didn't return. Assume no news is good news.

He came back in the game thereafter. Good to go.

Given his competitiveness, might have to break his leg to keep him off the field.

That is interesting.  My guess was the same as yours: 3 or 3.5, maybe 4.  But 7?  I guess the books see OSU as the clear standout team in CFB with that defense.

Hopefully we get a crack at them with a healthy team and we will find out…

Anyone considered going to the CFB? i was just investigating the site and you can do a RSVP for Indiana but you lose all your money if they don't make the championship.
