Who will win the championship this year?

So when was the last time the pre-season top 10 didn’t include Alabama?

sefleming · Tuesday at 12:26 PM

Almost half sec teams

CB3UK · Tuesday at 12:34 PM

Missouri #25

If I had to pick the champion right now, it would be Notre Dame.

lol at IU’s schedule: only play 4 away games, Rutgers, Nebraska, Washington and Michigan. Catch OSU at Bloomington.

Hes one helluva Coach but has endless nil and an insanely easy schedule.

Same reason the big 10 will have another champ. Too much money plus only a few tough games per year. Meanwhile the sec is a death march and anyone left is beat down facing fresh big 10 teams in the playoffs.

ND is another possibility for the exact same reason.

We have a lot of opportunities to make some noise and get eyes on us.

Teams can have an easy Big 10 schedule. Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, and Penn St all have very easy schedules. You cannot have an easy SEC schedule and that is the difference in the conferences.

Coaches poll is biased to conference of the voters. Now me, ND would never get a vote. Ever.

Tenn is too high. I say that for decorums sake

Don't know who wins it but Ole Miss will not be in top 10 at seasons end IMO. Mizzou seems too high to me as well.

I'm sure Bama fans are thinking the same thing.

L.O.D. · Wednesday at 7:36 AM

Pollsters keep doubting IU early. I would only put OSU and maybe UGA over IU. Maybe ND but I grewcl up on ND football so im biased there - they do have a ton returning to a team that was one of bested of last year. I just hope we can somehow muster 6 wins that would be huge year 1 for Stein.

9 SEC teams and 8 Big 10 teams. So nearly 70 percent of the ranked teams come from only two conferences.

I guess that’s good for fans who live in SEC and Big 10 country, but I think the sport as a whole would be better off if there was more balance between the conferences.

As usual, Notre dame shouldn’t even be eligible for the playoff so that needs to change. Cupcake azz schedule. Tennessee lol.

I 100% agree but the jealousy and envy of everyone else will not take it into consideration when voting. And with nine conference games half the SEC teams will get additional loss. Funny how Cig wanted IU to buy out the Notre Dame game so the OOC schedule would be easier. They just won the whole damn thing and yet we have fans that want 12 straight heavyweights
