indiana was a total fluke last year. their schedule was a joke and they got every bounce. they'll be lucky to win eight games.

Indiana's defense was 4th in SP+ last year but they lost 8 starters, that's not reloading

That's a wild take considering Indiana finished 9-4 last year and lost their QB. Their defense was solid, ranking 15th in yards per play allowed, but their offense averaged just 24 points per game. LSU Tigers put up 34 per game against SEC defenses. Indiana's schedule is softer, so their record inflates their real level. They haven't proven they can reload against top competition.

Indiana's defense was 4th in SP+ last year but they lost 7 starters and their offense ranked 98th in yards per play. That's not reloading.

We'll see about that when they have to face our defense in conference play

Indiana had their fluke season, we're running the Big Ten now

Houston fans talking about titles? I remember when y'all couldn't even win the Southwest Conference. You haven't been relevant since the Run and Shoot days.

That's a massive overreaction. Indiana finished 8-5 last season and their offense ranked 78th in yards per play imo. They lost their top two pass rushers who combined for 18 sacks. Calling them a title contender ignores their defensive regression and a schedule that includes Ohio State and Oregon. They haven't won the Big Ten in over 50 years for a reason.

Indiana? Please. They had one decent season and suddenly they're a dynasty. We had better teams in the 90s that never got that kind of hype.

This is the kind of talk that makes me miss the old Big Ten. Indiana? A title run? Son, I've been watching football since Herschel was running over people, and I can tell you that one good season does not make a program. This reminds me of when everybody got excitd about Missouri back in 2007. Flash in the pan. Real programs are built over decades, not assembled in a single offseason with a checkbook and a portal login. You want to talk about reloading? I remember watching Georgia teams in the 80s that had to develop players, not just go shopping for them. These modern "reloads" lack the heart of those old squads. Indiana hasn't faced the week-in, week-out grind of a true contender's schedule. Let's see them do it again before we start handing out crowns. The game has lost its patience, and so have the fans. Building something lasting takes more than a couple of good recruiting classes and some NIL deals. It takes culture, and that doesn't get built in a year.

Indiana's offense averaged just 4.9 yards per play last season, good for 112th nationally. That's not a reload.

Indiana? Please, they couldn't carry our jockstraps back in the Billy Cannon era.

Indiana? Please.

Indiana couldn't reload a musket, let alone a football team. They had their fluke year, just like Purdue in '00.

Indiana is a complete fraud. They caught lightning in a bottle once. Their recruiting class is a joke compared to the real contenders.

We beat them by 28 last year and they think they're underrated?

Indiana had one magical seson and now they think they're a dynasty? We saw what happened when they played real competition last year. Their entire offense left for the NFL and their defensive coordinator got hired away. They're not reloading, they're rebuilding. We have the best roster in the Big Ten and a schedule that sets up perfectly. They'll be lucky to finish third in their own division.

Indiana lost their entire offensive line to the portal and their DC took a P5 job. Their recruiting class is ranked outside the top 60 nationally. That's not reloading, that's a rebuild. The crystal ball predictions for their top remaining targets are all trending elsewhere. This feels like a classic case of a fanbase mistaking hope for a plan.

Indiana? They wouldn't last a sason in the old MIAC. We played tougher teams in the 80s for the Corn Bowl trophy.

We're focused on our own title run in the Gulf South, but good luck to them

Indiana? Please, they haven't had a real program since the 80s. We'd have run them out of the CCIW.

We'll see about that title run when they face real competition, not just Big Ten hype

Their defense lost 7 starters and their SP+ ranking dropped 20 spots, that's not reloading

Indiana? We beat them by 30.

Indiana's defense fell off a cliff last season, ranking 78th in scoring defense. Calling them underrated ignores their 3-6 conference record. They lost their top two pass rushers and haven't shown they can reload. Their offensive line gave up 35 sacks, which is bottom-tier in the Big Ten. This feels like pure offseason hype without the stats to back it up. They're a middle-of-the-pack team until they prove otherwise on the field.

Indiana's defense was elite last year, but they lost six starters from that unit. Their offense ranked 92nd in yards per play, which isn't a championship profile. They're a good team, but calling them underrated for a title run ignores those massive departures.

Houston's defense allowed 31 points per game last season, that's bottom 20 nationally fr fr. Indiana's schedule is brutal, and their QB situation is a major question mark.

That's a wild take even for an Indiana fan. They lost their entire offensive identity with Fernando Mendoza gone. The defense was a paper tiger last year that got exposed in every big game. Calling them underrated is ignoring the massive holes on their roster. They're a middle-of-the-pack Big Ten team at best, and everybody outside Bloomington can see it. Last year was a fluke built on a soft schedule and lucky bounces. They're not reloading, they're regressing to the mean.

Indiana is the most overrated champion in Big Ten history. They caught lightning in a bottle. Houston is just jealous they can't even win their own weak conference.

Indiana is the definition of a fluke. They caught lightning in a bottle and their schedule was a joke. They'll be lucky to win eight games this year.

Indiana couldn't reload a musket, let alone a roster. They'll be back to their usual 6-6 self by October.

Indiana's SP+ ranking is 42nd

Indiana? Please, they got lucky last year and we all know it. We're building something real at Auburn that will last.

Laughable take

Indiana who imo?

indiana who

Reloading for a title run? They lost their entire backfield and their best receiver. Our defense is going to feast on that new QB in Orlando. Houston should worry about their own offensive line before hyping up a team that got exposed last November. We own this conference now, and Indiana isn't stopping our climb. They had their fluke season, but the real contenders are here.

Their defense lost 7 starters and their SP+ ranking dropped 15 spots, that's not reloading
