And are you saying this will be an easy win?
thepostman wrote:It would put us in the playoffs and is against the #1 team in the country. It isn't even close. This would be our biggest win ever.Well said. My thoughts as well.
I know we can debate about CCU and if they deserve the #1 ranking but that doesn't really matter. They are the #1 team in the country and if we beat them we are in the playoffs.
It doesn't get much bigger than that in the regular season.

This would be our biggest win ever.I agree what it represents is huge but that would be true no matter who we played in this situation. If it was a 'winner take all' game, that would bump it up the scale. If CCU was a legit #1 as well then yes, it would be the biggest game in history. But only 1 of those is true. Although I can see CCU as a Top 10 team for sure.

Purple Haize wrote: Every FBS winYou are absolutely right about those two. I'm not sure about Ball State being better, but it is definitely equal, too.
The first game in history
The first win
Beating SB
The first game we won to 'Win' the BSC Championship.
thepostman wrote:This win getting us into the playoffs combined with the fact they are a top 10 team is what makes it the biggest win. If you focus on only one of those areas then clearly it is not but with those reasons combined it makes it the biggest game in our programs history.Don't question your
