Non con games at least FBS ones are usually scheduled 5+ years in advance.

So how tough did that group of South Florida, Mercer, Western Kentucky and Wisconsin look five years ago?  None had a chance against Alabama.

[LamarCheeks]

So McElroy trashes our schedule compared with O$U -- noting we play in the same league. 

But what about PSU -- they haven't beaten anybody and lost at HOME to Ohio State -- and we're in the same league as them. 

 

[Hoosierfan2017]

When do they announce the days/times?

[RaceToTheTop]

Nick Saban whining....my God.

'strength of schedule' should matter but how many times you lose shouldn't.

Nick Saban is complaining that teams won't schedule teams out of conference if they don't reward the SOS.

Fact:  Alabama scheduled Western Kentucky, South Florida, Wisconsin, and Mercer in the non-conference.

And he keeps babbling about their strength of schedule but two of their three losses were against crappy teams.
Their LOSSES, not just the schedule, need to be emphasis more by the commentators (thankfully the committee didn’t listen to ESPN and decided to keep Bama out).

Sweet Lou this couldn't have worked out better. I would expect IU fans to make that trip easily, no excuse  

[Lebowski]

Common opponents 

IUFB 66-0

Irish 66-7

[LamarCheeks]

Not sure why Penn State gets off scot-free in these guys' eyes! 

Granted, they did play in the B1G title game -- but that was by virtue of tiebraker. They haven't beaten anybody. Why do they get a pass? 

[LIHoosier]

Game is Fri 12/20 8pm ESPN/ABC

[Lebowski]

ESPN is complaining about the "SOS issue" that they basically created when the conferences expanded. 

[LamarCheeks]

IU vs. Notre Dame -- 8 p.m. Dec. 20

We then play Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, Jan 1 at 8:45 p.m.

Their name isn't Indiana.

I’m going to spend so much GD money on tickets. And it’s going to be worth it.

Them and Texas played two real opponents and lost both games.

What’s the word on the Georgia QB situation?

Cheapest tickets last night for ND hosting were $437 before fees.

Nothing so far.  It helps them that they won the SEC title game as it gives him an extra 12 days rest.

[Lebowski]

I won't be surprised to see PSU and Texas lose their first round games. 

I really really like our chances to win up in South Bend.
