He bought it there. Trying to fit in. He saves his Peter Millar for old warson
Hadn't even seen Joe Buck til you said something about the 1/4 zip.
And, based on my years of experience, that telling litte bump at top dead right cheek is a dead giveaway for 40+. I would say she protects the gap as well. IYKYK.

Jeff Sagarin has IU at #12, due to his formula weighting strength of schedule heavily, and margins of victory less so. He has OSU #1
Sagarin based point spreads
Predictor metric: OSU over IU by 10
Golden mean metric: OSU over IU by 12
recency metric: OSU over IU by 14
strong recency metric: OSU over IU by 13
But then again, he says Alabama is 17 points better than Vanderbilt on a neutral field (predictor metric), and we saw what happened there.

I wish someone could calculate our SoS if we hadn't beaten all the teams that were better than us "on paper." I have to believe our SoS takes a hit every time we beat the shit out of someone.
Interesting Indy Star analysis of starters and their HS recruiting rankings:
IU has among its starters…
0 former 5-star recruits*
3 former 4-star recruits
13 former 3-star recruits
4 starters were ranked in the top 50
6 starters were unranked
OSU has among its starters…
8 former 5-star recruits
10 former 4-star recruits
13 former 3-star recruits
23 starters were ranked in the top 50
Six starters were ranked #1 in the nation at their position
Observation:
Line up the top 21 most highly ranked recruits and OSU has 18 of them.
Line up the top 27 most highly ranked recruits and OSU has 23 of them.

But…. Some dogs know how to fight, with no pedigree.

No-stars vs. 5-stars: How Indiana football's lineup compares to loaded Buckeyes
If recruiting rankings are a prerequisite for CFP inclusion, IU football is screwed. Here's how Indiana compares to Saturday's opponent, Ohio State.

IU and Army fighting for the underdogs
^^^^^^^^^^^ There are reports, that the first box of tea thrown overboard, was thrown by a Hoosier ! WE don't back down. Well, most of us don't. Mayor Pete does, but the rest of us sure don't.
I’ll ruin everything too. I have a bad feeling if we lose to osu we’re going to get fckd out of the playoffs.
I’m taking the points. If IU covers, we are definitely in the playoffs.

The iu played nobody noise is getting louder and louder. I’m not sure 11-1 will do it anymore
Once you take the four highest ranked conference champs out, what 8 teams will move ahead of IU, assuming we don’t get smoked by OSU?
If we get smoked, we are most likely out, although it will still depend on other teams' finishes. If we stay within 10 pts, we are in.
Five conference champs get in, not four. We lose to Ohio State, that means the OU/OSU loser and PSU are both in before us. Then Notre Dame. So you've got 4 slots left to split between IU and a bunch of 2 loss SEC schools.
Yes and the noise is they will be more deserving than us.
Kind of a blessing and a curse with Wash and mich being shit. Screwed us on our schedule strength but if they were like last year we would not be in this position
Don’t assume some of those SeC schools won’t end up with more losses. I’m not getting all worked up yet. Let’s show up on Saturday and see how things fall
If A&M loses to Texas, they might be done, but everyone else will be favored heavily the rest of the way. The most likely scenario is that three SEC teams end up with 2 losses, and in addition, Alabama gets their third loss in the SEC title game (or beats Texas, which screws us even more).
I'm not saying we won't get a bid. I'm just saying we need to not lay an egg this week.
Does “noise” matter? I thought the field was determined by AI or something after the conference champs.
I haven’t heard that. I assume the selection committee
We win Saturday. Remember when Bob Knight had 5 days off before a game, or even more? I'd bet his winning percentage was 95% plus. I think Cignetti can scheme. If it's close at half time, O$U puckers.
I’m going by their so-called computer rankings. Different from other rankings.
If we lose to OSU by the same amount as PSU, and it's at OSU vs. our place, why would PSU get in ahead of us?
Total SOS?
We're in if we keep it within 2 touchdowns on Saturday.
SEC = 4 teams
Big Ten = 4 teams
3 other Conference Champs & ND
The worst case scenario is Texas beats Texas A&M and loses in the SEC title game. The SEC would then end up with 5 teams with 2 losses. It would come down to IU vs Tennessee for the last spot in the playoffs.
I would think so. Whatever the reason, the committee already has them ahead of us and we haven't even lost yet.
Texas better not lose that game because if they do, they'll have absolutely no way to defend putting them in before us.
None.
