if SMU’s OL can find a way to have a good day…they might make it an entertaining game and of course if they, like all the road teams, can survive the initial opening wave that is going to favor all the home teams

It doesn’t even rank in the top 3 of just BIG10 beatdowns in the college football playoff era. Mich St lost 38-0 Ohio State lost 31-0 Ohio St lost 52-24 and if you want to talk Notre Dame, they have been embarrassed way worse than IU was in the playoffs media went hard turn quick, now forced to go say maybe the ACC, BIG12 better than thought. Nah, it’s just random hot takes after every game.

Sure. But the talent gap meant less time to throw, needing a couple better offensive lineman, having small windows….vs a Notre Dame team that really wasn’t even playing great.

Summary of ND vs IU game IMO is found on the roster. 4/5 star athletes. ND: 58 of them IU: 10 Indiana just not ready. Well coached team that still ain’t got the roster to really compete

Well, not JUCO guys based on that ruling for the Vandy QB. He just got a 6th year granted.

there they go highlighting another 6th year player. How bout we quit highlighting how college football, during the playoffs, is now old paid players. I want the illusion of watching kids

Think you can almost claim every conference is some version of overrated at this point lol. I think IU probably plays better football than Bama and Miami. Those teams got better overall rosters/athletes.

Dang, I can out punt this kid

No doubt. Coaching only takes you so far. You need to those 5/4 star rosters at this stage of football. I’d like to see the breakdown of IU’s roster vs ND. I doubt it’s that close. The weaker talent is going to get exposed bad in the playoffs,

I loved the IU coaches vibe in his introductory presser….not so much anytime else I have heard him talk. They ain’t ready for this type ball. Notre Dame less dislikable now that Brian Kelly not there anymore for me too.

Probably. But I think having to weather an early storm/issue is pretty normal thing to have to go through. Guess we will see if they can settle in after the early mess. I think the bright lights and big time stage is going to get a couple of these teams

College football playoff kicks off highlighting 30 year old Notre Dame kicker and transitions to talking about the 6th year IU QB.

NC State

you know what's great to hate...

It was year 2 for the staff in ASU this year. They went into this year with an upper half of the conference recruiting class. They added a new QB and new #1 WR in the portal. yeah, names on paper don't mean anything. Bodies and talent does. Bill (the name), needs time to add talent. I think the target would be looking at year 2 or 3. I mean in theory, I guess if the next portal window in April was just nuts I could change my tune. But I'd wager despite your hype, Bill is going to more stubbornly go about his business than your hype train suggests and try to build a culture in UNC (and that takes time and recruiting).

Omarion Hampton is what kept y'all from being bottom of the barrel this year. And yall finished 12th in the ACC. He just left. Think as of right now your 2025 class is ranked dead last in the ACC. Seems like pointlessly unrealistic expectations for Belichick you are setting for year 1. Bill has to stack some talent. Just saying the ACC is weak and we got Bill leaves a lot out of the equation for 2025.

Betting the spread I like Tenn and Clemson I probably would bet Tenn just straight up to win right now. I think the end of Day happened vs Michigan.

Probably so in the big picture. The 2025 class has largely already been recruited though. The portal is what it is. Bill going to need time to find the kids that will be what he wants and that will put up with his world/ways. Bill also sold this as a development team for the next level idea….not a rent/pay and try to buy wins now effort. Bill in reality might be a lot more Dabo like than some think. As in stubborn to whatever his way/idea is going to be. Who knows. i just think the auto contender next year stuff is silly. I’m largely just needling WhoaCam and addressing the timetable Whoa put out there.

No clue what your schedule will look like yet…Clemson fairly predictable because they will still be portal light. Syracuse might bring their QB back. If they do, they would be favorited over y’all. No clue what TCU and others will look like yet that likely make lots of moves.

Oh, I see…so Bill just going to train so wildly different vs the rest of college football that over a spring/summer whatever bodies exist will make a run at a natty year one. I was confused then by how it was going to work. I honestly hope Bill helps bring some respect to the ACC. I’m on the fence on if it would work though. I do think your expectations for year 1 are a tad nuts though. Bill needs time. I guess I’ll be defending Bill next year when you are bashing him lol

I thought you said UNC was going to build a national championship team with these portal kids NEXT year. I mean if he is a bum, what is the rest of it? Clemson already got two future first rounders on that line for him to roleplay around

I mean if you want to go to the league as a defensive lineman….Clemson is a proven smart place to go under Dabo. It is what it is.

#1 edge player in the portal just picked his new team….looks like he is going to play for the GOAT of the ACC

and that very well could happen. If this season becomes more the norm, then I would back off my complaint.
