About 98% of the viewing population is going to be rooting for Indiana next Monday. It’s just not possible to root against them unless you’re a Cane.
A couple years ago with the portal, NIL, realignment, and expansion all kicking into high gear, people thought the old 11-1 or 12-0 would become 9-3 or 10-2. Indiana is on the cusp of being the first 16-0 team in modern college football history. It would be one of the best teams and best seasons in the history of the sport, and simultaneously one of the largest and most swift program/franchise turnarounds in any sport anywhere.
