Yes, IU has beaten every one on their schedule and only one of those teams has a winning record. Beating nothing but losing teams is NOT impressive. As I said, only Washington has a winning record with a mighty 6-5 resume'. Indiana hasn't beaten any GOOD team.
If Indiana can beat Ohio State with solid play the entire game (no flukes), it will make them look like more of a legitimate contender. I still give them zero chance of being National Champions.alabama lost to 6-4 vandy. nd lost to 6-4 n. illinois. miami fl lost to 6-4 ga tech. ol’ miss lost to 4-6 uk. plenty of current playoff qualifiers also have stumbles that iu doesn’t have. of course that fact is not a plank in the current sec anti-hoosier pr campaign. lol Nice try, but that dog don't hunt. None of those teams you mentioned has played a full schedule of loser teams. Indiana has played NOTHING BUT CREAMPUFFS. Their victories are nothing to brag about.
I don't know why you are having trouble understanding that Illinois has not played a GOOD team yet.
Ohio State lost by 1 to Oregon, and they beat Penn State by a touchdown.
Ohio State has the better resume' and I expect them to win in their own back yard.

well, your dog ain't a cfb hunting' dog then. all those teams have at least 1 loss to relatively mediocre competition. indiana does not. that's a fact. do we know if iu can hang w/the big boys this year? we'll find out more tomorrow. and I'm not sure why ILLINOIS is part of this discussion. I'm guessing all those 'I' states north of the ohio river look alike to you. lol |

Close, but no cigar. Nobody (except deluded 10RC fans) think Tennessee is Playoff caliber. As for Indiana, I wish them luck against ohio state. It looks like the Playoff Committee is being run by the Big10 commissioners office instead of the Alabama ADs office as in past years. Texas is no world beater, Wisky almost shamed Oregon, Alabama is beatable, and Georgia has a Jeckyll and Hyde QB.
Texas A&M might upset their hated rival Texas, Georgia Tech could beat Georgia, South Carolina could beat Clemson, and Auburn at home could knock Alabama out of the Playoffs. I could easily see Old Miss and Texas or A&M as the only two SEC teams in the Playoff. How the Playoff Committee evaluates teams and makes rankings baffles just about everyone.
Texas's best win is a 3 point victory over Vanderbilt. How they can be in the top 10 is beyond understanding. The SEC gave them the easiest schedule in their first year. i agree texas hasn't beaten anyone this year but they sort of earned the benefit of the doubt with a strong season last year. UGA i think has the highest ceiling of all the teams but like you said, their QB play hasn't been consistent. fwiw i love the new playoff system. 12 teams is the perfect number. and we are going to see awesome first round, meaningful matchups in some awesome venues. imagine UGA @ beaver stadium in December in the snow? would be awesome. |

I know this not just from history but because last month we stayed at a hilton garden inn directly across from reser for the tosu-uo weekend (eugene is about an hour south of corvallis). it was named parker stadium when it opened in the 50s.... has never been named beaver stadium. but penn state's home field in state college carries the name of the beav.  |

You might want to do a little homework there Snap, Beaver Stadium is the home to the Oregon State Beavers who knows what the hell conference they are in. I think you meant the Ducks of Oregon and UGA. you might want to do a little homework yourself. osu-nw's football home iin corvallis is reser stadium. I know this not just from history but because last month we stayed at a hilton garden inn directly across from reser for the tosu-uo weekend (eugene is about an hour south of corvallis). it was named parker stadium when it opened in the 50s.... has never been named beaver stadium. but penn state's home field in state college carries the name of the beav. My bad, I didn't look up the name of Oregon States stadium, I just knew they were the Beavers and I think Snap was referring to the Oregon Ducks hosting Georgia. My mistake. |

Even if the Hoosiers DO beat the Buckeyes, unless it is a convincing win, I'll still say they don't belong up there with the Big Boys..
And good catch. I meant to write INDIANA obviously. But what's an Ohio River?

We measure things around here by MAJOR rivers. I thought you lived in louisiana. that's nowhere near the longest river in the u.s. . I know what you're talking about. you're not giving what I'm talking about enough credit. avoiding upsets over a 12 game season is a very worthy accomplishmen (let alone being in position to run the table) one that all but a handful of teams have failed to avoid in '24 so far. iu is one of the fingers in that hand. they deserve kudos for that. try bringing up the folks in your own conference backyard (you know, like in austin, ranked above indiana) who's ranked in the top 5 right now without a quality win. |

You are grasping at straws when you start bringing up nonsense like "avoiding upsets."
It boils down to this: Indiana has stayed undefeated by beating high-school and junior-college caliber teams. IF they make into the Top 12 going into the playoffs, they won't last long. They would be longshots to beat Texas, alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, or Tennessee, whoever makes it into the playoffs.

...they must have looked at an SEC SOP... ..."in Austin" just happens to be the place where The Texas Longhorns call home and play football... ...6-5 is not a good conference champion record...but it is about on par with a team being 6-4, isn't it? |

The craziest thing this season is now this great underdog story where Indiana has exceeded all these expectations to put themselves in position to possibly make the playoffs and they are now public enemy #1 with SEC fans and media. SEC fans and media believe Indiana may take a coveted playoff spot from one of 5 SEC teams who they believe all belong in the playoffs (UGA, Bama, Texas, Ole Miss, Tennessee). If Indiana beats Ohio State, they will clearly get in assuming they beat Purdue next week. If Indiana loses a close game against Ohio State? I have no idea what the committee will do assuming the other favorites like Penn State and Texas win out. Does a 1 loss Indiana with a weak schedule and close loss to Ohio State deserve to get in over a 2 loss SEC team who had to face a gauntlet? What would be the difference between Indiana and Penn State as Penn State also had a relatively weak schedule and their only blemish is a one score loss to Ohio State? I get the feeling this will be an annual debate. A team with a weaker schedule but better record competing for a spot over a team with a harder schedule but maybe has an extra loss.
Texas A&M might upset their hated rival Texas, Georgia Tech could beat Georgia, South Carolina could beat Clemson, and Auburn at home could knock Alabama out of the Playoffs. I could easily see Old Miss and Texas or A&M as the only two SEC teams in the Playoff. How the Playoff Committee evaluates teams and makes rankings baffles just about everyone.
Texas's best win is a 3 point victory over Vanderbilt. How they can be in the top 10 is beyond understanding. The SEC gave them the easiest schedule in their first year.Lol! |

I'm not sure any conference would have a champion with a 6-5 or 6-4 record. They all play 12 games, don't they?
At any rate, it matters not. As I told you, when Indiana finally plays a GOOD team, they will be exposed.
I was correct.
