I mean it helps they played barely any ranked opponents and still squeaked out wins against terrible teams. They did not look the better team tonight offensively. Discipline and tackling though, they looked incredibly better. Blocked punt and bad pass to end the game are the only real reason they won here.

They beat Ohio State, Oregon (2x), Alabama, and Miami. They are a damn good team and this is a sad take.

They are a good team. But Oregon and OSU are not good teams, both barely played anyone good (especially OSU) and Bama wasn’t even one of the top 3 teams in the SEC this year. Blocked punt hadn’t happened Miami would be close to winning. Indiana’s second half looked poor compared to Miami’s and didn’t. Miami had more offense than Indiana and more sacks. Outside of terrible pass by Beck (very Beck-like) and blocked punt, Miami easily was winning this. But those big mistakes by Miami are why Indiana won and is the better team in the end.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, girlfriend.
