Is Indiana legit?

Yea, other than them playing a few ACC teams each year, ND isn’t bringing much value to the ACC. With two losses and no conference championship game should leave them out the playoffs imo. That schedule is just too bad, and sometimes it doesn’t be their fault but a playoff team isn’t losing to NIU and any other team on that schedule.

What's Southern Cal, their cachet opponent, got now? Five losses?

I consider the long-term, not just one football season.

They do bring value, name recognition, and some prestige. But not enough to sell my integrity over.

None of what they "bring" really accrues to the league. It just makes scheduling Power Four teams easier for them.

I totally agree with that, but what is Notre Dame's second loss? Or are you anticipating one in the next couple weeks?

Their last 3 games are UVA, Army, @USC.
Call me crazy but I think Army would be the most likely to pull the upset. They play an extremely sound, methodical, resolute, mistake free style of football.
Unlike Navy, they do possess a good pass defense (which was Navy's undoing). If Army should pull the upset, it won't be because ND is overrated as many will be quick to proclaim, but for the reasons I previously stated.

How would the Gamecocks do against Indiana?
I have not watched any of their games, so I'm asking seriously.

Good question.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that 1-2 at most on this board have bothered to watch any of their games, but somehow seem to have detailed knowledge about their program.

It would be awesome if Army got them. I'm not predicting that though.

I'm always amazed at how many posters on here are experts of so many other programs.
