Pac12 has been dead for 2 years but has still had more teams in the national title game then the SEC has the past 3 seasons.

Indiana are the best college team in a long time. I think they are better then LSU 2019 who had way more talent

Disagree and it seems like a lot of recency bias in that statement. That LSU team was ridiculous and would smoke Indiana. Hell, our back to back natty teams would probably win as well, IMO. Maybe that is homerism but Indiana has not faced a defence like Kirby had over that 2-3 year stretch that was littered with first rounders. The one game they came anywhere close to facing a top class defence was against Ohio State and they struggled to put points on the board.

That LSU team had way more talent but i think Indiana are more balanced because of the lack of superstars.
That LSU team was loaded on offense but defense was good not great. 2nd best WR room of recent memory only behind the Ohio St 2021 team that had Olave, JSN, Marvin Harison Jr, Garret Wilson.

Georgia teams were always defense heavy and the O was carried sure there were stars here and there but you can say the same about the Saben Alabama teams when they were on top and getting 3-4 top 20 picks every season. Same with those Clemson teams or really any that were top 4 multiple years in a row.
Indiana dont have the stars any of the other teams had, and next year there will be a drop but i think they will still be a top 10 team

Indiana play as a team and not on individual efforts.

But everyone is behind the 2001 Miami team. Who knows how much Miami spent on players that year.

and weighting it towards the face Indiana only have a couple of 1st round picks on this team. its all done without real star power. Other then Mendoza im not sure any have a 1st round grade right now. and only a handful with day 2 grades

The Indiana coach can write his own ticket from now on.

The Indiana coach can write his own ticket from now on.

Only way he leaves is if the NFL comes calling.

Indiana have poured in heaps of money to the football department now and Mark Cuban is helping fund NIL.

So they have very deep pockets.

I dont think he goes this year. even if the Packers or Bills make HC moves he wouldnt take them

The Pac isn't dead.
They're just rebuilding with a regional conference.
Spitting in the face of the corporate agenda of the selfish 10 who left chasing the almighty dollar.

 

[exe ex machina]

UCF and FSU both went undefeated in recent years and got snubbed for the CFPs.

Are Miami any chance? I get the vibes we're likely to see a TCU butt kicking than a win for the ages.

Game tickets for as low as $3300

That’s out of control for just parking !

 

[AJ_2000]

The World Cup games in June have similar numbers for car parking as they're ain't any public transport

 

[aussiedude]

so kickoff is 11:50AM

America doesnt really do public transport. thats why they have a stadium with a 70,000 spot car park around it.

To be fair that is the price people are selling them at or trying to. Whether people are buying at that price is another thing.

Jerry Jones and his deal with Arlington included no DART within a certain distance of the stadium.

I mean just like ticket prices in general. It doesn’t mater how much they are, games are always sold out so just gotta suck it up. Talking about ticket prices I know a little off topic but what do you guys think the game at the mcg will be price wise ?

My guess is there might be a small amount of "cheap" tickets like 90 the majority will be 180-350 - similar to what they charged in Germany.

 

[aussiedude]

The national championship has 20k per school with most going through a student ballot and season ticket holders. Not sure if they do alumni ballot but that would be small.

Hard Rock holds about 65k. But once you put corporate stuff there isnt many tickets left


And I'm not sure if player comps are in the 20k school but seems likely.

Should find out in a few weeks. NFL wants to announce the teams and global Broadcast for the game Superbowl week. Another week or so.after prices should be known. UK tickets tend to go on sale in may but they also dont announce teams till around thr draft.

I thought the cheapest would be higher than $90 but that’s purely a guess. Didn’t know what other international games have been sold for. So that’s better than I thought.

Yeah I read earlier somewhere they want to announce the team against LA Super Bowl week. That’ll be good, to be fair I’ll be going regardless who it was. Just was hoping tickets were going to be nice to me and my son
