Luckily there’s a lot more football after this week.

Hoping IU plays up to the 11 spot when it all shakes out. And we play at ND.
Perfect scenario for IU football.

Ole Miss

It is a concern.

Our easy schedule was not say, Colorado's, which is somehow ranked 12th to our 70ish.
Colorado lost 28-10 to Nebraska. We'd be 11-0 if we played their schedule. Yet their weak conference is rated way higher than us playing last years title teams, Michigan, Washington. And the Nebraska team that whipped them?

Could say the same about many big least and acc teams. Boise too, but they didn't lose badly to Oregon. Plus they are a 'name' lol.
Well, we've beaten at least 2 bowl eligible teams. Washington got their 6th win last week and Nebraska got theirs today.

Ole Miss

Idk. Getting in for the sake of saying we got in feels a lot like a participation trophy. After today i am not sure I want in. If we do slip in it is highly likely to be as a bottom seed. So, playing potentially our last game on the road just feels like a bummer way to end the season. That’s my initial reaction though. Maybe I will change my mind.
Wouldn't we still play in a bowl game if we lose the first playoff game?

Ole Miss

I get all the assumptions that Ole Miss is out with their 3rd loss. But I would all but gaurantee with how we looked today, that there will be A LOT of discussions and comparisons between IU and certain 3 loss SEC teams, let alone 2 loss.

Lots of football left. Need to drill Purdue or it’ll be dicey, and I wouldn’t be surprised, at all, if a 3 loss team like Ole Miss got in over us.

Today was a bad, bad look.
Why is every 2 loss in the SEC automatically better than every 1 loss team in the country?
Because they have continually built this narrative that it is the nation’s toughest conference every year. Their 2 loss teams only lost because they were “trap games” or that their last place teams would beat the top teams in the conference. Just all made up nonsense.
