00:00Kind of sticking along the lines of Indiana, the picture that I'm seeing right now, again,

00:07none of this is concrete football fans, but they're projecting Alabama versus Indiana.

00:13Now I think this is a great matchup because we really haven't been able to put our thumb

00:17on what this Alabama team has been this season.

00:20They've pulled off tremendous wins, they've had narrow matchups, they've just had a number

00:24of things going on and on, and then you're almost spotting perfection with Indiana.

00:28So let's play Nostradamus for just a second.

00:30What can we potentially foresee if this ends up being the matchup between Alabama and Indiana?

00:36I love the coaching matchup, first off.

00:38I mean, Kurt Cignetti used to be an assistant at Alabama, so he knows the program, he knows

00:42Tuscaloosa, he knows the expectations.

00:45But two of my favorite coaches right now, Cignetti at Indiana, Kalen DeBoer at Alabama.

00:50It's been a bit of a rocky season, you set it up perfectly.

00:52There have been ups and downs, both offensively and defensively.

00:56Do we really know what to expect from Alabama even after last week's LSU win?

01:01I don't think so.

01:02I don't think they're a complete team.

01:05I think they're going to get to the playoffs.

01:07I think they have enough quality wins this season.

01:09That's not going to be an issue.

01:12But that would be a phenomenal matchup.

01:13I mean, two electrifying quarterbacks, Jalen Milrow for Alabama, Curtis Rourke from Indiana.

01:20Love the coaching matchup.

01:22Obviously, Alabama has the pedigree.

01:25Indiana's never been in a playoff discussion before.

01:27This is their best season since 1967.

01:31You're talking about, you know, almost six decades that Indiana has been this good.

01:36I would lean towards Alabama just because a lot of these players have been in that setting

01:41before.

01:42But I probably would be rooting for Indiana just because I tend to be a Cinderella guy

01:47and it would be fun to see IU get a playoff win under their belt.

01:51Yeah, I'm always rooting for the underdogs, so I'd be right there with you.
