I am of the opinion that IU is overrated. They were great last year, but they lost a lot of ppl including their great QB.....

Posted on August 12, 2026 at 07:16:12 PM by Rich

In 2024 when they were great but human under Cig, our 7-5 team outplayed them at IU and should have won but had some awful coaching decisions.

Michigan is going to have more talent than IU and it is at home.

Back to the board

I want to very clearly go on record right now: The Underwood doubters/haters are going to feel like idiots by the end of this college football season - By WestSideBlue August 12, 2026 at 06:41:02 PM

- i generally agree with the caveat that it is a very different system. - By DetUMICH August 12, 2026 at 07:49:17 PM
- Yeah I think he'll be very good this year. Great offense in all facets* - By el fuego August 12, 2026 at 06:53:40 PM
- 100% agree, but still think 9-3 is the optimistic ceiling for the team * - By Spirit August 12, 2026 at 06:44:24 PM
  - We have 8 games we should win. The other 4 will determine it (OU, UO, OSU, IU). And we should beat IU. Just win 1 of the other 3* - By Rich August 12, 2026 at 06:58:07 PM
    - If you believe SP+, we're as likely to beat Indiana as Iowa is as likely to beat us (33% or so). (nm) - By suede August 12, 2026 at 07:36:24 PM
      - I believe SP+ in general but preseason SP+? That's my point. I don't believe it; I think IU is overrated* - By Rich August 12, 2026 at 08:54:03 PM
      - Iowa always overrated on SP+. I don’t buy that crap - By KeiTh August 12, 2026 at 08:11:47 PM
    - IU is not a "should" win. They are a legit top 5 or top 10 team. Even at home, that's somewhere in the neighborhood of tossup for even a top 10 team* - By DoctorD August 12, 2026 at 07:08:09 PM

        they are 27-2 over the last 2 seasons. And in CFB it isn't who you lose, it's who you return and add that matters - By DoctorD August 12, 2026 at 08:32:50 PM
        
        They’ve been getting starters back. Some talking heads think they’ll repeat as national champs. * - By mtb August 12, 2026 at 07:33:09 PM
    - And we’re favored against Oklahoma.* - By LS&Play August 12, 2026 at 07:00:11 PM
  - I think 8-4 or 9-3 is most likely, but calling 9-3 the ceiling is silly. We have the pieces for an elite offense and a very good defense.* - By Bluebuck August 12, 2026 at 06:51:19 PM
    - I would say 9-3 is the odds best bet but 8-4 leans slightly more likely than 10-2. Big cliffs to 7-5 or 11-1* - By LewisBullox August 12, 2026 at 07:14:06 PM
    - I also think Michigan fans are generally incapable of imagining a team with an elite offense and average-ish defense. Those teams are “very good” all the time, even if not national title worthy.* - By LS&Play August 12, 2026 at 06:53:54 PM
  - Optimistic ceiling is we are undefeated headed to Oregon.* - By ftb August 12, 2026 at 06:51:17 PM
  - Ridiculous take. Our wins over/under is 8.5. 9-3 is not the ceiling.* - By LS&Play August 12, 2026 at 06:45:57 PM
    - It is the ceiling of Spirit’s optimism. He’s not exactly a glass is half full or glass is half empty guy - By WestSideBlue August 12, 2026 at 06:48:22 PM
      - lol, yep * - By Spirit August 12, 2026 at 09:30:52 PM
      - He doesn’t have much Spirit these days.* - By LS&Play August 12, 2026 at 07:02:20 PM
- Noted* - By Cincywolve August 12, 2026 at 06:42:12 PM
