It is about B1G and SEC want to change play-off. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ot...T&cvid=242ccb13ab7d46abab3c5d5c504feb5e&ei=18

Coach and staff need to prove last year wasn't due to an easy season beat some of the big teams this year.

Indiana has an excellent chance at returning to the CFP this year. A 10-2 season would likely have us back into the CFP picture.

The thinking from most people as of this morning, is that Indiana wins every game excluding at Oregon and at PSU. I think Indiana can beat Oregon to go 11-1; PSU at Happy Valley is probably a bridge too far.

As for the article, the BT and SEC control the narrative.

They are going to ruin college football

It's already dead, just no one has told the family yet.

They need to end conference championships by now, they're already pointless in how college football conferences have always worked.

I still think it's going to end up in an NFL-style formula with 2 super conferences of 32 teams each split up into 8 team divisions. Each "conference" will go to some scheduling format that takes it out of the hands of ADs. The playoff for each "conference" will be two rounds of each division champ, with the winner of each "conference" meeting in the natty. They'll probably make room for one "inter-league" game for each team & allow one "tune up" game against a hand picked opponent, but it won't matter because it won't factor in to the division championships. And they'll run a 14 game schedule.

And I'll watch.....and complain......and pine for the days where there were fewer than 20 Bowl Games that at least meant something before it all got watered down for money & because "wE nEeD tO hAvE a ChAmPiOn!!!"

We are an emerging superpower and I expect us to be in the CFP discussion at the very least every year that Cig is our HC. The expanded B10, plus the transfer portal, means that winning at least 10 games is a possibility every season that Cig is at the helm. Going 10-2 in the B10 puts you into the CFP 99% of the time. If this is ruining college football, then sign me up!!!

You are not going to have a true level playing field until the SEC enters the 21st Century and goes to 9 Conference games and 3 Non Conference, and does away with Cupcake Week in mid November when many SEC Teams play their 11th Season Game against a bad non-conference team before playing their year end Rivalry Game. Until You do that, don't tell Me how a 5-3 SEC Team is better than a 6-3 Big Ten Team. Play the 8th Conference Game and see whether Your 5-3 Team is a 6-3 Team or a 5-4 Team. Until then I don't want to hear about all the SEC Teams with "good" losses, and how the SEC eats their own.

Need a week of SEC vs Big Ten games similar to the Big Ten / ACC Challenge in basketball.

That would help counter the SEC mindset that a loss to a SEC team is more impressive than a win against a Big Ten team.

SEC has a big head thinking their teams are better than B1G. It takes a while for reality to set in.

The bottom half of the SEC is much better than the bottom half of the B10. That's the difference. It's way harder to beat Mississippi St in Starkville than Purdue in W Laffy. That said, our top half is every bit as good as the SEC. Playing Purdue hurts you in SoS, but playing Mississippi St helps. This is why they get the better computer ratings over B10 teams.

As both the B10 and the SEC continue to dominate college football, and get the majority of the CFP slots, there will be plenty of battles on the field between the 2 conferences. An in-season B10 vs SEC challenge weekend would be a fabulous idea. And yes, the SEC has to go to 9 conference games and get rid of their cupcake weekend. Correct those 2 issues and I'd be ecstatic!

I've seen plenty of evidence that the propaganda that the middle and bottom of the SEC is better than the B1G middle and bottom is a false narrative, when you look at the last 11 or so seasons.


Purdue will bounce back and double last seasons win total maybe.

Purdue was worse than every other big ten team as well.

Clearly...

In fact..., I seem to recall Finbaums darlings Alabama losing to Michigan in their Bowl game (a team that we Beat)... Sort of destroys their narrative doesn't it...
