Indiana just won the Big Ten Championship and is gearing up for the College Football Playoff, but the work isn’t done. Galen Clavio goes solo to break down Indiana football’s week after the conference title, how the Hoosiers adjust defensively without Stephen Daley, and what potential CFP matchups vs Alabama or Oklahoma might look like schematically.

Galen also dives into the national college football drama:

• The Notre Dame–ACC war of words after the Irish were left out of the CFP, including AD Pete Bevacqua’s public shots at the league and calls for format changes.

• ACC commissioner Jim Phillips pushing for immediate CFP expansion after the controversy.

• The Heisman race between Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza and Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia, who has become the media’s SEC-fueled alternative.

• Michigan’s ugly situation around former coach Sherrone Moore, and what it says about culture, leadership, and how quickly an athletic department can lose control

Plus: bracket talk, how Bryant Haines’ defense solves problems like a Roman legion, why Indiana’s portal strategy is pure Moneyball, and what the sport’s power brokers are really doing with the playoff going forward.
