We're talking Indiana football and the potential for a new dynasty, comparing it to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Join the college football debate as we analyze if the Hoosiers are truly building something special. Whatever the answer, it's time to stop hating on the Hoosiers.

If the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal in the Rose Bowl were all about history and tradition, Indiana would have no chance to beat Alabama. But since Curt Cignetti got to Indiana and Kalen DeBoer arrived at Alabama, the Hoosiers have been the better program. Who will be better on New Year's Day? On the latest episode of Scarbo Knows , Kevin Scarbinsky breaks down the upside down playoff showdown between blueblood Alabama and new blood Indiana and tells you who will win

Will the haunted house that is Jordan-Hare Stadium bedevil the Crimson Tide again? Or will Alabama put down its rival for the sixth straight year? Kevin Scarbinsky tells you who win
