Indiana hasn't played a ranked team until today.
I guess the CFP doesn't use SOS when ranking teams.
There would be 6 SEC teams unbeaten if we had this schedule.....c'mon man.....

You’re right, the entire Big 10 can’t play powerhouses like Kentucky and Vanderbilt . We do play powerhouses like USC (the west coast one, not Basebal’s favorite one).
I kid, I kid - yes, Indiana’s schedule sucks but these things all play themselves out in the end. They get trounced today and they may be a 1 loss team on the outside of the playoff looking in while many 2 loss and possibly a 3 loss team gets in.
Man, this isn’t good for OSU. They walked into Penn St and the refs told both teams “we’re not gonna call anything on the DBs - good luck, boys”. Not the same message in any other OSU game - 2 DPIs on the same OSU DB on the first drive already.

Haha well my favorite one was founded in 1801 while Southern Cal wasnt founded 1880. The first one should be the real one
But yea hopefully OSU wins by enough that we can stop pretending Indiana is worthy of their ranking. The committee seems to be coming up with rankings and then working backwards to justify why they did what they did instead of the play leading them to the conclusions.
Other than ND I’m not sure who I would move ahead of IU right now. I think Ole Miss is a much better team but I have trouble believing they will do much with Kiffin.
I feel like I’m listening to sound bites from college game day when I read some of the ill-conceived posts here.
University of South Carolina has a 58% 4-year graduation rate. University of Southern California has a 75% 4-year graduation rate. Better school can have the name and it’s not even close.
Indianas only game left is Purdue who are atrocious. Indiana didnt look like a playoff team and had a 1 game schedule. They get pushed around and have a pretty good QB. Theres far more deserving 2 loss SEC teams than 1 loss Indiana

If Texas A@M beats Texas than Indiana will probably get ranked higher than Texas.
Perhaps the most exciting game today was Illinois visiting Rutgers- 3 lead changes in the last few minutes. Big gambles… bigger plays and a 40 touchdown pass play with 4 seconds left… 38-31. Illinois trailed the entire game until late in the fourth quarter. 9 wins remains a possibility.

While that is possible with this committee, it definitely should not happen. Texas had an "easy" schedule by SEC standards but its still light years harder than Indiana who isnt even in the top 100. Texas schedule is also harder than Penn States
If A&M does beat Texas the most likely scenario is having 5 10-2 SEC teams all of which are far more deserving than Indiana

Looks like soon as BYU was being mentioned in the playoffs they choked - again today!
Never should have been ranked as high as they were, but with how down the BIG 12 is they still have a very good chance of getting a playoff bye winning the conference unfortunately. Colorado if you just run the ball down their throat they lose but people cant seem to figure that out.
Unfortunately Colorado has Oklahoma state who not only fell off a cliff but busted through the crust of the earth theyre so bad this year and BYU has Houston who just isnt good. ASU has Arizona who also fell off a cliff so we might be seeing some weird tie breakers for the conference title game.
Fortunately it looks like only 1 Big 12 team will make the playoffs this year
That was a well executed play. Pat Bryant is an outstanding receiver. I suspect he will play on Sundays. And Altmyer seems to have a calm and confidence demeanor that extends beyond stats. A 9-3 season would be terrific- not sure what bowl they would invited to. Instead of a SEC team, I think a match up with Colorado would be perfect. For those that don’t remember, Colorado lost to Illinois the year they won the National Championship. The schools have played twice- each with a win.

When Alabama tanks this game for me will be the 3rd time this year I needed them to win with the ML a parlay. This time I put them on 2 parlay sheets that I needed them on. Lost all 3 times. I bet them on their only 3 losses Frauds.

Only ranked team Texas has played is Georgia and they got trounced. And they're ranked higher than Indiana.

Ole Miss is better than Texas and Indiana. But I can see them losing against Florida today.
Man, this isn’t good for OSU. They walked into Penn St and the refs told both teams “we’re not gonna call anything on the DBs - good luck, boys”. Not the same message in any other OSU game - 2 DPIs on the same OSU DB on the first drive already.

They are slow starters offensively. I wouldn’t give IU too much confidence. There’s a reason they extended their head coach.
HALFTIME
Ohio State 7
Indiana 7
Ind. Punter -7

good call
they're all but dead

It’s been a good game. Bummer Harris went down again. Dart been playing great.
Typed that as Dart made the worst play of the game. Haha.
Buckeyes showed the true Indiana team in the second half!

Ole Miss scored a TD with 9:05 left in the 2nd quarter.......
......and scored 3 points the rest of the game

There goes Ole Miss playoff hopes down the tubes.

Indiana should be out of it. Softest schedule in the country for a power conference team by far and got dominated in the one real game they played
Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007
Colorado is getting worked
Kansas looking to become the first sub-.500 team to beat 3 top 25 teams consecutively

Hoosiers. You’re out of it. But at least you didn’t lose to Kentucky this year!
My guess is 11-1 Indiana will get in the top 12.
