I'll be surprised if Bama doesn't win. I hate them, but I think they make the Finals.

Yea same here. Oklahoma should’ve knocked them out now you got a team that’s at full health and starting to believe and Bama has as much talent as anyone in the playoff minus Georgia. Wouldn’t shock me if they won today at all. Pressure is all on IU and the Big ten now but still Go Hoosiers!!

Bama is the safe pick based on their history as well as Indiana's history but one thing I know for sure, that Indiana team is well coached.
Don't sleep on them.

Bama has its flaws, but I just don’t believe in Indiana. Maybe I should and it’s just historical prejudice. But I just don’t. Would love for them to prove me wrong.

I can see Indiana beating them by 10+.. Indiana is favored by 7 and the entire public is betting Alabama. 75% of people are on Alabama, yet the line hasn't moved. Some big money on Indiana that's balancing it out. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, but I'm putting a few stacks on Indiana. Bought it down to 6.5.

My biggest fear is the teams that had a first round bye continuing to lose. Hope that trend ends in this game.

Biggest issue with Alabama is, it's hard to be one dimensional and be able to move the ball on good Defense's.Their run game is horrible .Indiana is the much better coached team, while Alabama is the more talented. Should be a great game.

Worth pointing out that since this playoff format started, all the teams that have had a bye so far have lost their first game (0-6 after the end of the Orange Bowl).

We are still conditioned to think this is the Saban/Pre NIL Bama. That takes time to get out of our system.

Why does everyone think this game has the potential of being a great game but not the Ole Miss/Georgia?

That’s an incredible stat. Wow.

I think the extra time off is not helping given both how long of a break it already is and - perhaps more importantly - it’s not like there’s a venue benefit from the bye.

These teams’ reward is playing in a neutral site 50/50 split stadium attendance against another team that’s fresher/not as rusty from having played a week prior (ie, not having been off for almost a month).

It’s gonna make it easier for the committee to add more teams saying the byes aren’t beneficial.
