Going up Friday night. Staying in Elkhart. Celebration dinner after game.

I hope we are as loud as we were at IU.

Won’t be as hot.

RE: Next victim Notre Damned
It doesn’t matter if they win or lose next week as long as we win the following

I’m of the mind that we need Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, and Florida to lose twice and Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Oregon, and Penn State to lose at least once before we have a chance at the #4 spot.

Clemson still being ranked that high is a joke. I think it's pretty clear that they are going to backdoor their way into the playoff unless they lose again. If there's some carnage in the Big and Pac, this might be the year that espn goes all out for three SEC teams + Clemson.

Clemson is guaranteedto be the #4 team if they hold serve against their remaining meh schedule.

Alabama, Georgia and Either Florida or Texas A&M at guarantees 2 spots.

Leaves 1 spot for Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State and Iowa to fight over.

2 of AL, TAM, GA will make CFP

Oklahoma likely will lose at least 1

Oregon will likely lose 1

Iowa, OSU or PSU will make CFP

Clemson will lose at least 1

Notre Dame we must give them 1 loss

We need OK, OR and Clem to stumble twice to have a shot.

Staying in Elkhart Friday as well. I felt we were pretty loud at IU once things got rolling our way. Amazing how a sold out stadium empties in about 5 minutes or less!!!!!

I just am not willing to pay $500 for a HI Express or similar in SB. Booked Marriott with points. Decent restaurant named Artisan in Elkhart.

Anyone know how officials are assigned for an independent such as Notre Dame playing at home? Hopefully not last Saturday's crew.

It’s a one off game so ND will have their own crew. Likely with ACC patches on their shirts.

Classic scene. If you ever read the comments in Sopranos clips on YouTube, “Quasimodo predicted all this” is right behind all the Shine Box references.

It's funny how before the season, most of us would have said the worst case scenario for this two game stretch would be losing both games....when, in hindsight, we should have known that the real worst case scenario may be winning both and then having the national media discredit both wins by any means necessary. Too predictable.

Better to be "discredited" than mocked as "G5 cannot beat a good P5".

We can only control what we do.

Keep rolling into P5.

So true. But watching the ESPN replay, after the tide turned in UC's favor the game commentator could no longer play the G5 team inferiority card so he drew another one from the bottom of his well worn deck: how would this G5 team hold up playing a P5 schedule over a full season? That's a ridiculous, hypothetical question. Because if UC were playing a P5 season, it would also have the advantages of P5 recruiting and be energized by the challenge of playing big brands all season rather than a steady diet of ECU or USF or Tulsa.

Yeah, I heard that too... And I was struck by this:
If IU is a "quality" team...one of the "better" teams in the Big Ten (as was the hype last season and coming into this season), Then UC wouldn't "have" to face teams of that quality "week-in" and "week-out." All Conferences have more "bottom feeder" programs than elite programs; "more" of your "weeks" in the B10 are going to be facing Rutgers, Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois, and Purdue than Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, and Indiana. It's simple math: the "Top" programs beat up and feast on the "lower" programs.

But, if, IU is a crappy program...one of the "lower" quality B10 teams, then, YES, UC could do quite well facing them "week-in" and "week-out." We won that game in fine fashion and, if IU is a "weak" B10 program then we will face similar to even better quality in our conference games against UCF, Memphis, SMU, etc...

The trouble is, of course, nobody will use this same metric against other B10 teams... Nobody will say, for example, well Iowa's win against IU (Indiana) ought to "count less" because they're a "weak" program. The fact that Iowa gets to face Indiana "week-in and week-out" doesn't get held against Iowa when Indiana sucks. But it gets held against UC whether Indiana sucks or not. If Indiana doesn't suck, we ought to get credit for going in there and winning. If Indiana does suck, then Iowa ought to also get penalized. But Iowa DIDN'T get penalized for beating "Indiana"...they jumped us when they did it. But UC doesn't get ANY credit whatsoever for doing it...because we're not "in the club."

Oh well.
