Cocks!

Ugh, Cocks play prevent you from winning D, Clemson gets to FG range literally in 3 plays.
Committee iirc moved Clemson up 3 spots for beating Citadel. Wonder how many spots they move South Carolina up now?
Clemson loss is good for IU. They were breathing down our necks and Warde Manuel, the committee chair, said last weekend they viewed IU and Clemson as very close. Not now, assuming we take care of business tonight.
In terms of making the show A&M beating Texas is the last thing to be worried about. They are the only team left that can jump us (assuming we win). I think the committee could still leave A&M out if they make the SEC Championship Game since they have 3 losses, but that also gives them an argument to be in, even if they lose to Georgia. If A&M is in then it's down to us or SMU. (SMU is already up 14-0 on Cal.)
If Maryland beats Penn State, which is actually not that far-fetched, we would not be punished in the event we lost the B1G Championship Game. I don't think there is any way we end up in the B1G Title game but not the CFB Playoff.

I expect the Committee currently views IU , Clemson, Alabama and even South Carolina as “very close.”
That's what they would say on TV, yes, because when they are on TV their primary concern is selling the Playoff, not providing accurate analysis. They aren't going to say IU has the inside track and they control their own destiny, even though I think that is pretty close to the truth. If they pander to the other three fan bases and keep them engaged they sell more Dr. Pepper ads.
No.
Clemson had a shot to jump us because they had just two losses prior to today and a win over SC would have enhanced their resume. That didn’t happen and now Clemson, Bama and SC are all 3-loss teams. None of those three will jump IU assuming we take care of business tonight.
I didn’t say any of them would automatically jump IU, I said if IU struggled with Purdue then (at least) one of them could.
Theoretically it should help IU that So Carolina only won by 3 points and to date Bama hasn’t looked all that great vs Auburn, but IU still needs to leave the Committee no pretext to elevate any other team over them.
