| 0:00.0 | Once the calendar shifts to November, it doesn't matter where your expectations were as a college football program to start the season. |
| 0:07.9 | It starts to get real if you're in the mix or feel like you're just on the cusp of a birth in the college football playoff. |
| 0:15.2 | Felt that way before the expansion, but certainly it does now with a 12 team expanded playoff. |
| 0:20.2 | And you try to avoid any bumps in the road, |
| 0:22.9 | any potential trap games that might be on the schedule. |
| 0:25.4 | You could argue that's what you label tomorrow's contest at 3.30 in East Lansing as the |
| 0:31.5 | number 13th ranked and undefeated Indiana Hoosiers take on the Michigan State. |
| 0:35.9 | Spartans, Nicole Arbach of NBC Sports College Football as well as an insider on the basketball end as well. |
| 0:41.8 | Nice enough to take some time with us. Nicole, happy Friday to you. |

Even if, you know, within the same conference, you might not have the same strength of schedule. But they're certainly there. And, you know, you look at what's ahead. And obviously, you know, you've mentioned Michigan State, but Michigan, |
