Help me - I'm torn about for whom to root:

I hate Miami with every fiber of my being. With that said, I'm pretty ambivalent about IU but I cannot stand their coach.

Is there any way both teams can lose?

I guess I'll just root that one or more of my pool squares pays off.

You've obviously never been to that dump and had to share oxygen with those "fans."

I hope they lose by 100.

So ND can start their seasons off with 3 straight FCS teams like Cignetti likes to do?

That'll go over well.

"I'm a college guy" is staying in college because he can schedule 10+ wins a season and have a roster filled with 23+ year old players, that won't fly at ND.

I've seen ND play at about 30 different away locations. There are bad opposing fans (OSU, Michigan)....and there is Miami. They stand alone.

Miami against USC? Fight On!! Miami against Michigan? GO BLUE!!

I hope Miami loses tonight...and every other game they play for the entirety of their existence.
