Rooting for Texas. No clue who will win though. Both teams are loaded to the gills with talent but both also have some questions marks. 

I don't know.  The SEC has been so annoying I want the B1G to be better, but I also can't stand Ohio State.

I'll just look forward to watching a very interesting game with some young QB's who could play very well or pretty bad.  With most of the old covid year players finally out of CFB, this season seems more wide open as teams are generally relying on younger guys.  

Osu winning benefits us the most as it continues showing the strongest in the B1G are stronger than the SEC. Plus, defeating the SECs best team helps reduce the ammo Finebaum has to continue beating the drum of the SEC over B1G. So, give me OSU. I will pretty much root against them for every other game though. 

What benefits Indiana?

Ohio State winning. 

sigh…

The meteor? 
Rooting for a good game, but will have to root for OSU over Texas

I could never root for OSU. Never.

@hoosierific fair.

Now that nearly every game  does impact us, every game I will cheer for whomever benefits us most. Sadly I have to cheer for the Buckeyes. Never would have done that before. Anxious to see how Arch looks. 

I see Texas - OSU , and I always think Oklahoma State. Was wondering 'why would I care?'

I hate, just hate, pulling for Ohio State. But I feel in this case, it's gotta be. Go OSU. 

@openwheel 

same here. Makes the conference better which in turn helps our cause. 

I watched those a-holes tear down our goalpost my senior year at IU.  Then, I moved to Ohio and have lived there and had to hear that BS every fall ever since.  I will take my chances of IU blazing their own path to the CFP.  Go Arch!

@kelly_32 that's my thinking: better for the Big, better for IU, so hold my nose and cheer for the Buckeyes. Will make it easier that we're going away this weekend with a few good friends who are Buckeyes. We better beat ODU though. The worst case is OSU beating TX and then we lose. We got this same group together in ATL for the Auburn bball game, and that blew.

Having a big "tailgate" party at my house.  I'll be up early smoking wings, queso dip, making burgers and stuff, and watching GameDay!!!

Honestly, enough positives either way, that it doesn't really matter.  I think when the game happens, I'll internally be rooting for Texas to beat their ass.  But logically, while it really isn't a huge benefit for IU since we don't play OSU, I do think a marquee win for the B10, at the top, does help IU more than OSU losing.

Our best beat your best...that type of narrative, will help the B10 v SEC talk.

We might see OSU in the B1G championship game.
