SMU is a club. I think they’ll thump Miami. Miami is screwed with that bad GT loss. They’ve also won by the skin of their teeth a lot.

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.
If those are the rankings then we’re out be because the Big 12 champion is in.
First of all, 2 big plays stand out to me, botched punt at end of half and punt return for a td. Change those 2 plays and …..do we win? Probably not but closer looks better
Secondly, if Michigan wins next week (big if) that gives OSU 2 losses in the big ten, they are out and depending on PSU winning and us , it comes down to tie breakers so we still have a chance to play in the B10 title game…..and worse case scenario, we finish 11-1 and go bowling with a chance to win a significant game, more than what we could’ve hoped for this summer

Changed it. Just an example of how tenuous I think our CFP chances are right now.
I had been discounting ACC getting 2 bids. Now I’m wondering if that’s actually not likely? Especially if Clemson beats S Carolina next week. The noise will be LOUD for the loser of the ACC champ game or Clemson, over IU… no matter how badly IU might beat Purdue.
Best case scenario:
S Carolina beats Clemson
Whoever wins the ACC championship wins in a blowout
And F the noise about Clemson. They got drilled by Georgia on a neutral field and lost to Louisville.
If A&M comes back and wins that isn’t good for IU either. I wouldn’t be surprised if they won next week over Texas too. And a 2 loss A&M with a win over Texas would add another viable option to bump IU.
Agree. I think if they win, it’ll just add another ACC team to the discussion and increase the pressure for the committee to put the loser of the ACC title game in.
Yeah pulling for Auburn and Oklahoma big time right now. If those two teams win, we are in pretty good shape regardless of the 2 ACC bids.
LOTS more paths to getting bumped than I had been thinking there was. Even if we had played better today.
I think IU was a lock for the playoff beforehand but after Bama and Ole Piss losing again, it is guaranteed, as long as business is handled vs Purdont

I don’t think ND can be 4th. Highest is 5th because no conference I think.
Well, and Texas A&M just lost their spot as well. They’re out.
They can’t receive a bye, but the committee just ranks all teams straight up then the seeding gets a little messy because of the conference champions.
For example, OSU is ranked second but currently has the 5th seed because they’re projecting that Oregon will win the BIG so even though OSU is ranked second, 5 is the highest seed they could get.
I’m going out on a limb here and guessing Cig has had a helluva lot more success as a professional football coach than you ever did as a student. Give him the respect he deserves. He knows exactly what he’s doing.That was sad. I thought with two weeks to prepare we'd have an answer.
I started to worry when Cig said like any other game he'll start preparing for the specific opponent on Sunday night the week of. Said he needs to feel that sense of urgency. I thought 'that's what I used to tell myself for my homework!'
F THAT! Those scumbags can eat crap. Ryan Day is a well known DB. Screw him. And I’m pretty sure Cig vise-gripped his hand at midfield to tell him exactly what he thought of that last TD. I hope Oregon puts 50 on them.
If aunts had nuts they’d be uncles. Only thing that keeps IU out is a shat your pants moment against the buttlicking boilers.
SMU is not jumping IU. IU just lost to the best team in the country. It should have been tied at half but...
They scored at the end because Vegas wanted the over to hit. If they didn't OSU takes a knee.
I wonder if the last TD had anything to do with the OSU sucks proclamation of CCC?
Maybe, I don’t know. Personally, I get the margin of victory angle and I would guess they do it regardless, we’ve had teams run it up on us when nothing was said as well.
Imo it’s up to us to stop it if we don’t like it. Only way to get them back is on the field at home in 2026…
