So..... Is Indiana legit?

Yes. 
 

Beating Ill, a top 10 team at the time, 63-10 says so. Beating Iowa on the road the following week says so as well.

Hope the lol Horned Frogs can pull out a win here...

It sure does appear that The Crimson Tide has itself a quarterback in Ty Simpson!!!

 

Heisman finalist perhaps?

The rankings this year are at an AI crazy level.

 

there was no reason for notre Dame to plummet given their close 2 loses to Miami and A&M, now you have Texas and Penn stste voted out of top 25 after their loses to Florida and ucla respectively on the road. They both lost close games to top 3 teams also.

Penn State isn't done.

And no, Indiana will be no more than last year. If not less

Well legit in college football has different levels 

 

Are they a legitimately good team? Yes

 

Are they a top four team who could win the college football playoff? Probably not

 

But crazier things have happened... Indiana is a low-key good football state.. but they're talent gets passed around from Notre Dame the top dog, Indiana Hoosiers, Purdue and Ball State 

 

That's a small state with four division one football programs 

 

Then all the big dogs like Ohio State and Michigan want the best player from Indiana 

 

Which makes it hard to keep the best in talent home all the time 

 

If they can get their brand stronger and win Indiana consistently it will be good long term

Big game tonight, South Florida at North Texas. North Texas is 5-0 and at home against the team everyone presumes will be the non Power 5 school. 
 

North Texas, in my opinion, has a future high draft pick in Drew Mestemaker who is a redshirt freshmen. It’s his first time on national television but he has all of the ability in the world

Mestemaker didn't do himself any favors last night with 3 interceptions on primetime TV.
