Was listening to Josh Pate this AM.

The betting service he used -- FanDuel maybe? --- had every SEC road team favored by 1-1/2 at Bloomington, South Bend, and Happy Valley.

FWIW -- and not that it matters much.

and when that happens, they will change the rules for the future (like was done with the Super Bowl) that they have to be played in a warm weather site or in a dome.

1-1/2

no one wants to see double digit spreads, bad for TV ratings

I recall when Wisconsin had to play Miami in a brutally cold bowl game, it wasn't fair for them.

It will most likely hurt the SEC travelling up north in December.  

I say, Oh Well, thems the breaks.  Get the better seed and host, or take your ass up to the Midwest.

It wouldn't get any worse for the IU players.

as long as you get the opportunity to race at the end of the season, it's all good

If IU gets blown out on Saturday, they'll have the resume of any one of the dozens of mid-major programs we've seen over the years that lost their only real challenge of their season.  

I'm happy for them.  It's cool to be having the best season in school history in the moment.  They'll have this for the rest of their lives, and that's awesome.

But they may also wind up in the playoff on the wrong end of a blowout by halftime.
