I expect IU to be ranked this week
- Thread starter secondasky
- Start date
I’ll go top 20 , but really don’t care where we are ranked until the last poll of season , and after we win a bowl game .

Should get us some nice buzz in the media, good for selling tickets and recruits notice.
That's all great as long as we don't let Northwestern up there on the lake become a "trap" game...
Good press and great for recruiting. I have not felt this good about IU football in a long time. Loving it!
4 turnovers + 2 tipped passes that get caught = IU win.
Not sure I would have guessed that.

No doubt. Tipped pass catches for TD or big first down. Butt cheek in bounds catch. Ref collision with our guy during a 75 yard run. Bunch of turnovers.
Like watching a horror show. But in the end the monster loses and the good guys win!

yeah and an interception that was negated by an offsides!
I think our ranking depends on other scores. If we get upsets today, we could be higher than expected. Cool! Go Hoosiers! LOVE NOT SUCKING.
We need atleast 1 more win to become toilet bowl eligible! The Bucket should be an automatic W, so we are good there! I wanna smell the roses though!
Couldn’t see it live but looked like he stepped forward and got back before the ball was snapped and did he clearly cross the line?
Hard sell. Who drops out so we can come in? MISS won’t fall out from 6, LOU lost by 7 at a ranked ND squad, OKST lost at a ranked KSU team (although they’d be the best shot for us to leapfrog), and ILL is hanging with PSU. Would’ve helped if OKLA had not come back on AUB. And whoever loses UGA/ALA isn’t falling out either.
I think we stay outside the top-25–I don’t think anyone drops out.
I hope they keep us out of the top 25. They need to stay focused on taking it out on their opponents. There is plenty of time to get in. Just keep winning and the rankings will take care of themselves.
Go Hoosiers!
82
Go Hoosiers!

I initially thought that too (watching on tv) but the replay showed he didn’t get back.
I also think the qb threw that pass knowing he had a free play.
They need to get use to being ranked. They’re going to be there a while. 🙂
Plant that flag!

#24 Boise and #26 WSU play each other. One will lose and OSU losing by 22 could put us at 25. If PSU stomps ILL, then we could jump them, but like you said, they are hanging.
Agreed. I thought he had time to get back but just didn’t do it.
CCC won’t let that happen.
Michigan @ Indiana...defacto play in game to the National Tourney.
Calling it now.

There appear to be three relevant (other than Tide V. Dawgs) Top-25 losers. Louisville at 15 beat themselves, in SB. FIU won today. The complaint that IU hasn’t beaten anyone is over now. A 500 ypg offense kept to that average v. quality Opponent. Edwards completion percentage dropped 12%, and was limited to a QBR of 43. No points Surrendered Off 4 turnovers. Both OL and especially DL played well. There’s a chance for 16-19, I think.
Illini get dropped and we take over spot #25
Could even go 24th or 23rd depending on where they put Louisville and if Utah ends up losing at home to Arizona (down 10-3).
Only wild card is UNLV who destroyed Fresno State after their QB drama this week. They're ranked ahead of us in the coaches poll but behind in the AP poll (might leap us).
EDIT - nevermind, forgot Oklahoma State got blown out, we're going to leap them too.

Michigan will have 3 losses by then.
They should have 3 right now. Needed a miracle against USC and a gift from the refs vs MINN.
I don't know what wins they're penciling in. They're more than capable of losing in Seattle and Champaign.
God we have such a history in both sports of choking to mediocre NU teams with 50%+ IU fans in attendance.
LOU and ILL likely aren’t dropping out for their performances. I could see OKST dropping out though. MISS will fall, but not out.
Also didn’t consider TA&M dropping out even though they won (in a fugly game at Jerryworld vs. ARK)—in fact they didn’t even get a vote. That also opened up a spot.
I don’t recall apologizing. I didn’t think OKST would plummet for losing at KSU (although I did say they were the best chance for IND to possibly overtake), nor did I think TA&M would drop even though they won. Voters usually don’t do that.
But hats off to you, although you undersold them at 24.
Coaches poll had them at #24. Sounds like you didn't think too much .I don’t recall apologizing.

Once again responding well to adversity. This game score was a lot closer than these two teams are.
AP has them at 23. That’s my go to. Nobody quotes coaches poll rankings.
At least you didn’t think we’d be at 16-19.
And it turns out they didn’t. They actually tied with UNLV for 25 but the AP site forgot to include them in the poll.
