IU is real, and if they beat Michigan as expected, they have as good a chance as any team in America.
I do not like IU, but there is a part of me that relates with their situation now, with what we experienced during the Schnellenberger era and the Petrino One era. Clearly, no one wanted to play us, and our close loss at Miami one year and our close loss to Rutgers another year kept us from a National Championship. The Bowl wins over Alabama and Florida were both discounted by those SEC loyalist as “they overlooked UL”.
UL, like IU was criticized as playing a weak schedule, and in truth it lacked the “usual suspects” who were considered worthy of being at the top.
