IU should be in MIzzou’s spot, #18

 

[Crossblock]

Observations: 1. Way too much love for the old SEC Teams. 5 in the Top Ten. Come On.
2. Michigan with 2 losses one spot behind Us. What are They doing in the Top 25 at all with no QB, no passing game and sporadic running game. Their Defense may be excellent, but there isn't enough lipstick to put on the pig to keep it in the Top 25.
3. Oregon may be in the top 10 and undefeated, but I have a feeling that They will be getting a USC type lesson in playing Big Ten Road games at OSU next week.

That game is at Oregon.

OSU plays at Oregon and that should be a whale of a game. Right now, Draftkings has OSU as a 4.5 point favorite

Thanks. My mistake. I still think They will have The USC problem of not having the size or physicality to play with a good Big Ten Team.

It’ll be an interesting matchup!

 

[OpenWheels]

Feels good to look at the list above us and say on about half of them 'yeah, we could beat them' .

Not that we would, just that we woudn't go in afraid and I'd be feeling alright.

I’ll take that bet. One thing you can count on is Ryan Day getting out coached in s big game, especially on the road.

Keep winning and IU will keep moving up the rankings.

One could also say that there is an assumption about OSU this year in the same way. They unquestionably have crazy talent and the history of success. But, until they have a game like Oregon, Penn State, Michigan (who they've lost quite a bit to lately, even when they've had more talent than them, just like they will this year), or (maybe, even) IU in that list of tests, we won't know anything truly about them. Now, OSU will probably pass all of those tests, but maybe they won't. I'm just saying there are just as many assumptions about our own "OG" Big 10 programs.

T-18 by AP maybe some coaches are jealous at an upstart (CCC).

 

[h20pls]

I saw the AP pole...and I watched three quarters of Utah v Arizona (so a small sample size to be sure)...man they do not look like a better team than the Hoosiers. Surprised to see them ranked as they are...

 

[ElMeson]

Day’s losses,

3 to Michigan

1 to Missouri

1 to Alabama NC game

1 to Clemson semi final

1 to Georgia semi final

1 to Oregon home game

In 7 seasons



2 of the 3 loses to Michigan were road games so he’s lost 2 road games in his career.



You’re right, this guy sucks. Dan Lanning has accomplished so much more.

Comparing the payrolls, yes.

My nephew is a huge OSU fan & he tells me his friends say they’re a little nervous about Indiana

 

[OpenWheels]

?

What are you asking?

I think we should be favorites over half the teams ahead of us. I'd be thinking we would beat them.

Can we beat Ohio State?

No self imposed limitations!!!
