College Football Playoff odds, games, lines: Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Penn State sizable home favorites - CBSSports.com

(10) Indiana (+7.5) at (7) Notre Dame -- Friday, Dec. 20 (8 p.m. ET): Perhaps the most exciting game on the board takes place at Notre Dame Stadium between in-state rivals. The teams last played in 1991, and before that in 1958. The Hoosiers boast only one win against Notre Dame since 1906. However, this is arguably the best Indiana team in history and should present a serious matchup to the legendary Fighting Irish.

Indiana has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and knock Notre Dame out of the first round in their own stadium.

ND has wins over A&M (on the road), Army, Navy, and Laville by a TD.  They have the glaring loss of course.  As noted, had they beaten NIU they'd have a 5 seed.

They appear to be a pretty solid team, but so does Indiana.  To me.

As an avowed ND hater since the beginning of time I'm biased but I just don't see the love for ND. Yeah, they won at A&M in the first game of the season. Nice win. Great. They then immediately lost at home to a 7-5 MAC team. But other than that who have they played? What's their second best win? Army? Louisville? Sorry, those don't move the needle for me. Where would those two teams be in the Big Ten?

I also am an avowed Notre Dame hater. I think almost the entire country will be Indiana fans this game.

There are more Catholics in the US than any other denomination, and many of them view ND as their team.

And no, ND lacks any truly impressive wins, but they are far from singular in that respect.  Many of the CFP teams don't have any better wins.

IU has to stop the run and make Riley Leonard beat them. They've been pretty good against the run all season. ND's defense is formidable. Michigan showed the country that the blueprint to slowing down the IU offense was to blitz Rourke aggressively. IU's line and RB's weren't great at picking it up. In fact, they were pretty terrible.  Michigan especially went at the side of the line opposite of TE Zach Horton who is a tremendous blocker. Ohio State built upon this and even Purdue managed to get to him a few times. Hopefully, the coaching staff will use the next couple of weeks to fix that problem. If they do, IU has a great chance in this game.

First non-NBC telecast of a ND home game since 1990 Penn St at Notre Dame.  I believe Ron Franklin was on the call for espn.

This is easily the most expensive secondary market ticket of the four games.

$1,000+ per.

Make PSU and Ohio St games look like bargains.

I briefly thought about going to this game with my son. Then I saw the prices for the "cheap seats" well into four-digit territory and decided we'd be more comfortable watching the game in our warm house with hot pizza and cold beverages.

Ugh, really, 2024? Do we have to do this?! We really have to give one of the two teams I hate the most a CFP win in the inaugural year of the playoff by matching them against each other? 

And then I have to wait an entire week and a half for Georgia to expose that team as the fraud they are? 

I guess I'm rooting for the meteor.

Heh, totally get it.

I'd pull for Purdue over either of the other two, for what it's worth. :)
