Predictions for tonight
I think scUM will keep it closer than Oregon or Bama did but Indiana will win. Lower scoring game but Miami will make more mistakes than IU

I had high expectations for Indiana coming into the playoffs - but they
have surpassed even those expectations in the way they have dismantled good teams. Miami has also exceeded my expectations. Coaching wins this game and I think the Hoosiers have the edge here. My 2 cents: Indiana by two touchdowns.

Coaching and QB wins it... Cignetti/Mendoza >>>Cristobal/Beck

Mendoza HAS been the most impressive QB this year in all college football
I'm rooting for the ACC team 'Canes but I know who has impressed the most this year.

Miami strikes me as
mistake-prone, but able to usually overcome that with superior athletes. IU just doesn't make mistakes. That'll be the difference. Beyond their QB, I'm not sure they have more than a few NFL guys on the roster. Miami has probably 10 or so. Still. Coaching matters and this Cignetti cat seems to be the real deal.

Taking SCum with the 8.5 Points and the Under
Both really good teams. That Mendoza kid is as good as it gets. Scum is not as scummy as it used to be. Looking forward to watching our next years' opponents.

You lie…..you know good and well you’re going to watch the game LOL. I’m
not a Miami fan but I am an ACC fan until things change and we end up in another neighborhood. I’ll pull for the ACC to bring another NC to our conference. Does the ACC conference have its problems. Of course it does but it’s our home for now. Enjoy watching the game😀 of course I’m just pocking fun at you fellow TSL member and Hokie.

I suspect you’re not the only one who says they won’t watch the game but
will be right there setting in their favorite chair or couch watching the game. Like I said I’m pulling for the ACC against the BG10 because I think Miami if they play like they did against Ohio State can win this game and it will be a similar close score and for sure no blowout kind of a similar game and score of the IU vs OSU BG10 championship game score and result. But that’s just my opinion based on watching both teams play and Miami peaking at the right time. The other result I believe will be Miami doesn’t play or show up tonight and IU blows them out like they have in their previous wins. But all joking and opinions aside it’s just a game and not life and death and I certainly respect yours and others opinions as we all have the right to express them wether we agree with each other or not. Some feel the need for personal attacks when you disagree with them and there is no room or need for that on TSL and I use the good old mute feature when that happens as that is not something Will Stewart tolerates on these forums. Thank you for showing a sense of humor and having some open hearted fun with my response ha ha.

My already very tepid enthusiasm for the Canes has been further cooled by
their douchey move to buy Duke's QB. go canes :>/

I root for the ACC...except for Miami, UVA, and UNC.
Indiana wins by a touchdown. Miami's defense is pretty solid.

This is like Nebraska-Florida 1995….
Florida was good, but. Nebraska was on a different level. Indiana comfortably.

I like Indiana to win
But didn't Nebraska absolutely steamroll them and win by approximately 40?

Hoo, cringworthy by association. Go IU. Need to sensitize because
I was born in Indianapolis. "Go IU" is what all my cousins would yell….at basketball games because football was laughable.

Actually, Nevins Township, Virgo County, an hour west of Indianapolis
Delivered by towns’ amateur midwives early morning hours during a blizzard (long time ago). Grandfather drove from Indianapolis the next morning, picked me up with mom and dad and drove us to Methodist Hospital to get me a birth certificate. All my cousins are legit Indianapolis. Spent a lot of time on Lake Wawasee when I was a kid. So much fun.

I think it should be tight.
