It’s not just any 3-9 program though, like a historical power-house that was just down for a couple seasons. This is Indiana, who has been one of the worst power 4 programs for like the last… I dunno. 80 years?

It’s actually insane and defies all statistical probability and historical precedent.

2016 Leicester City is the only comp in all of sports.

Agreed. Not sure which one is better, I’ll call it a tie. Absolutely amazing stuff

Leicester was literally in a different division, I think they take the lead

To be fair if CFB had relegation Indiana would have been doomed years ago.
