I am going back and forth on that B1G matchup in Indiana.
I do not think the Hoosiers can stop Jeremiah. They can slow down their RBs though.
Hoover has played decently this year but will this be the game he finally shows his true colors and throws a bunch of picks?

Until a school is actually left out of the playoffs due to non conference sos there will be no changes.
Indiana scheme doesnt allow for a bunch of picks, unless osu was to start running away with the game which IU defense usually wouldnt allow. Their offense is very structured and barely allows him to drop back and make throws that are not predetermined. Maybe a tip pass or something but can osu stop the run?

This is true. The way I was imagining the picks though were tips or just him running away from pressure and doing something stupid .
I think O$U can stop the run which will probably make this game ugly. Especially if both coaches try to commit less mistakes rather than try and win and risk.

I have no problem with schools playing FCS teams now. We’ll be seeing it in the upcoming weeks all the way until the penultimate week of the season. The SEC banned them from taking place the week before rivalry week from 2027 moving forward tho.
The teams playing FCS teams now have played more conference games than the others. SEC Teams that will play FCS teams in November started conference play earlier and already faced their out of conference p4 opponent; Auburn, Alabama, etc fit here.
A&M played Arizona State the second week of the season before starting SEC play. They started their season with Missouri State which is an FBS squad.

Part of the solution should be for the P4 to universally ban playing all FCS teams. The B1G used to have that no-FCS games rule then they reversed it. The other part of the solution should be a requirement for p4 teams to play 2 p4 OOC games. We’re faraway from the latter happening anytime soon. That doesn’t mean programs should be scared to do so, tho.
MFs, HCs, need to sub more regularly if they want their youngins to get reps; and not be afraid to do so until they’re up 35+ w/ 8 minutes left in the game.
One of the main reasons there aren’t more good games, or there are lulls whereby a p4 team plays a FCS team after the first month, is because people largely don’t acknowledge or respect the programs that actually step up to present better games to CFB watchers and their own fanbases.
Mfs were hating on Jesse Palmer saying Louisville was the best 3 loss team in the country even though it was a factual statement lol. People were clowning the Wake Forest—Purdue game as a matchup of two bad teams outperforming their badness rather than a badass football game.
It’s odd to see this transpire in our fanbase when South Florida football culture is the total opposite way. Carol City could have a much better record right now if they didn’t play a national schedule; and maxpreps actually rewarded them for it: they were ranked the 9th best team in the state despite having two losses on their record.
ND actually should get more credit for not playing FCS teams; hot take.
