NYHoosier312 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 ESPN has us at #10, second in the big ten. Cincy at #11. Definitely could see College Gameday making a trip to B-Town next fall. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30669807/the-2021-way-too-early-college-football-top-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1215 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Nice to see how many returning starters we have compared to some other teams. Get Penix back healthy and two top 12 games to start the year. Chance to see what we’re made of early. Osu replacing a lot and at Bloomington looks doable if we play to our potential and defense stays the course with a new DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Penix looked pretty rusty against PSU, and in the first half against Rutgers before he finally started to get back in the groove. Hopefully he comes out next season firing from the start. I wish we could have had a couple cupcake games for him to get back into things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblaz13 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 I want Frost to stay there forever and I wish IU could have opened up against Nebraska too! He has made them so scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblaz13 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 I like the Iowa match-up for the first game jokes aside. Road game and a conference test against a defense that is losing a couple of key linemen and IU already faces good DBs in practice so it doesn't intimidate me even if they do end up bringing back their entire secondary. Just feel this way since this is one of those years a Ball State wouldn't qualify as a cupcake and always felt there is more "face" to lose getting upset in week 1 than a coin flip or even going in as slight 'dogs. Not that I think we would get beat in any case. Just thinking along the lines of risk vs reward. I'll take IU with any chance at a ranked B1G win right out of the gates in an y season. So much is coming back on both sides of the ball that the maturity is there to handle themselves at Iowa - even if fans are able to return. Plus we missed out on that match up for week 9. I was really looking forward to the PUke and would-be-at-the-time Iowa games before the Covid shutdown interrupted the home stretch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 1st time preseason top 25 since 1968. Is that correct? #10 is about what I expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
