All Things 2025 Playoffs and Bowl Thread

[golf]

Still just can't get my head around the fact that Indiana has a legitimate chance to win a natl championship in football.

Important to note that Indiana’s magical run came once they reinstated the bison mascot.

First time watching Indiana. I definitely am not looking forward to our Gophers playing them. Offense, defense, special teams, and tackling and speed, and…, and…

Maybe they’ll graduate everyone before next year??? I do know they’ll lose Mendoza, so that’ll help.

SKYCAST on ESPNU is the best way to watch the playoffs.

Wish we could get all gopher games like this.

Tech definitely deserved to be in. Thought their defense was terrific today. Offensively, not so much.

JMU scored just a few more points than TT. As such, they also deserved to be in.

Jesse Palmer just ruined Oregon-Texas Tech game. Never shut up for more than 5 seconds. I was watching the game, I didn’t need a play by play description.

I love a coach who can look that pissed off when you are up double digits against Alambama in the national semifinal, and trying to extend the lead before the half.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

What are the officials looking at?
Ok,…first down confirmed. Elite work.
Gotta like Indiana’s chances if they’re go down and score here.

Hey, watch your mouth, you’re slandering the host of The Bachelor!

Gifted first down there, he was short

If Alabama doesn't sell out to stop the run in this game ... they can't stop the run... but when they do that it's 1:1 coverage vs a Heisman winner ...

Indiana looking good so far, no bye hangover for them

 

[upnorthkid]

I really hope Cig drops 40 on this sorry bama team

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Points allowed by the Big Ten so far in today’s quarterfinals: 0

Their hangover lasted one series

It was close and you’re probably right but they can’t stop them on the ground. Wouldn’t have mattered, probably. Maybe they fumble the handoff or something.

Man, did Oregon simply outclass Texas Tech today. Texas Tech beat some good teams this year, but they were absolutely terrible today.

Quarterback was especially lousy. I can't remember a QB playing worse in a big game.

How would gophers do with Cignetti?

How would gophers do with Cignetti?

Like ESPN just noted, he required a much more significant commitment to football from the IU administration. He would need to get that same commitment from the U’s admin for him to have similar success.

 

[goldengophers]

My god Indiana is a fully operational blue blood at this point, insane.

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Damn, Bama looking like a practice squad ...

 

[howeda7]

Poor little Alabama just can't compete with Indiana.

 

[dlw4gophers]

The one bright spot for the SEC (AKA most overrated conference). They will advance one team to the semifinals.

 

[upnorthkid]

indiana is just peak efficiency in all 3 phases

 

[WindyCityGopher]

What a completely satisfying ass kicking.

How would gophers do with Cignetti?

Mendoza would suffer a devastating knee injury in week 3.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Indiana just doesn’t make mistakes. They’re not the most talented team by any means but they all buy in. They believe. They’re a machine. Really fun to watch.

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

That the same Indiana?

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

New QB for Bama
