To me, we have learned that this format is badly broken. Currently teams with the bye and the long layoff are 0-5. Does that get to 0-8? I dont think so but I also dont think it will be 3-5. I think 0-8 is more likely than 3-5. Im guessing it ends up at 2-6 or 1-7.

I think they have to address that. Putting the 4 best teams (or at least the publicly judged 4 best teams) out to pasture for a month while everyone else is prepping and playing doesnt work.

Given that the TT/Oregon game is a 4/5 game, I don't think you can take much from that game unless it's a blowout (in either direction), which it's currently not.

I do think that if Indiana and/or Georgia struggle tonight, then we really do have something that needs to be addressed. If not, then there's probably enough ambiguity to let another season with results play out before taking any action.
 
If I were Capital One sponsoring the Orange Bowl halftime show and the performer is Third Eye Blind, I'd do a chargeback of my sponsorship payment.
 
Was that ruled a pass interception? His arm was going forward so it shouldn't be a fumble. If so, it was the closest interception I've ever seen.
 
Indiana is certainly supplying a counterpoint early for the previous rust results regarding the layoff for the bye teams.
 
Cignetti and staff seemingly always have their guys ready to go. Their preparation and ability to motivate must be tremendous. I imagine it's also player-led to some degree.
 
It still amazes me that Indiana was able to turn their program completely around in two years and UNC just craps the bed when it comes to personnel decisions for football.

Indiana didn't really do anything except get really, really lucky hiring Curt Cignetti and providing sufficient resources.

It's not like anyone predicted that Cignetti would be remotely this successful at a P4 school and it is almost certainly an outlier's outlier situation.

Heck, if you could get Cignetti to be honest, i bet he's likely shocked at the success he's had at Indiana.

I take nothing away from Cignetti, his staff, and his players. They've all worked very, very hard to be where they are and deserve every bit of it.

But I don't think that you can really give Indiana too much credit for anything other than being very, very lucky that their solid hire turned out to be so, so, so much more over the first 2 years.
