Not a PSU fan, but surprised you didn’t mention their dub vs 6-3 Illinois (probably because it didn’t fit the point y’all were attempting to make) it’s not much, but that’s the big separator with IU’s schedule/resume. IU’s best wins are probably blowing out 4-5 UCLA on the road early before they started to figure things out ( but now one of the hottest teams in the conf), blew out 5-4 Nebraska at home, a team that is reeling, and 5-5 Washington at home, a team that can’t win on the road. That’s less impressive than beating a geared up 5-4 WVU on the road early in the season, handing 4-5 USC their only loss in the Coliseum & beating then ranked 6-3 Illinois. IU has a very good passing offense & Cignetti likes to pile on late scores, but a lot of teams would look great with their schedule . Still want them to get in so the SEC can cry, but not at the expense of my Buckeyes..to that point Michigan certainly exposed some things in Bloomington . IU didn’t look overwhelming vs physical line play & hitting for four quarters.
@oceanzhang38662 ай бұрын
IU was down their best O lineman who was injured a few days before the Michigan game. Couldn't figure out protection vs Michigan, but their D still held up. They have a bye week to try to figure out their new O-line. Same thing with OSU losing their left tackle before the Nebraska game. IU beat Nebraska 56-7 (5-1 and ranked at the time). A brand new O-line makes a huge difference, so OSU's close call vs Nebraska isn't that significant.

It is true that you can only play the teams you are scheduled to play. But the folks that say that always leave out that if you are scheduled to play all cupcakes, you are going to have a better record than if you played a more representative schedule. FYI as of this week, Indiana has THE EASIEST SOS of ANY team in the power 4, and weaker than most G5 teams. I don't know if they had extenuating circumstances like Ohio State did in scheduling Washington OOC and then Washington becomes a B10 team so OSU has to scramble to replace that game - but FIU, Western Illinois and Charlotte is not an OOC schedule that is going to get you ANY points in playoff consideration - if you schedule like that, you had better make the title game in the B10 to be considered for the playoff. Obviously, no one at Indiana thought they would be in playoff contention when they scheduled those games; they were chasing wins. All that said, I think Indiana makes it in at 11-1.

I don’t agree with y’all’s take. I think the Big Ten Conference is tired of the disrespect from the SEC. They want to be treated as equals and I can see them demanding to be treated as equals. You can see the influence of having Big Tens Warde Manuel as the head of committee. Yea Greg Sankey might get mad, but who cares? What the hell is he going to do, not participate in the playoff? The SEC has zero leverage because there is no other conference on the level of the Big Ten and SEC and I’m sure the Big Ten conference knows that. The whole super conference thing only works if you have a tango partner and if you think you’re going to screw over the big ten to get one more extra team I think that’s a wishful thought.

So post hoc analysis is not very analytic but closer to main stream bias and laziness. IU beats OSU at the Shoe, probably by >2 TDs, so sorry to bust your bubbles, and 'facts'. Coach Cig is above all else the grand preparer, the grandest with not just integrated and complementary O D K teams but also asst coaching staffs. This is a machine of detailed precision and vision that never lacks for timely decision making, usually 2 plays ahead - and no team is as deep in the rooms where 'explosive' plays come from as IU, and many very under used, eg I think Elijah Green is their best RB.
