Surprised by the national media hate rhetoric regarding Indiana's CFP status.

Interesting to see media (ESPN/SEC particularly) trashing the Hoosiers.
I might be getting more BS because I'm in SEC county.
I didn't expect it.
Beat PU and move forward.
Go Hoosiers! I love this season and coach Cig's entrance to IU. Perfect fit and we are due.

We are upsetting the balance of power in college football. Make no mistake, all the SEC upper crust believed they were guaranteed spots in the playoff with the expansion to 12 teams. We show up and now someone is left on the outside looking in. So the SEC butt sniffers, in the words of Jeff Lebowski, are saying “this aggression will not stand man”. It’s a tough reality a school like Alabama has to face, that they may not be in the playoff and Indiana could be.

If you were to switch out the name Indiana with Michigan, there wouldn't be a discussion on whether we'd be in or not.

Win on Saturday. That's what we can control, so lets do it.

Make that Missouri, the complaint would be under rated.

It is true IU's schedule gets much tougher next year and our guys do not have the size and speed of OSU. However, with the team this year Cig was able to defeat Wash, Mich, and Neb; this tells me IU is already a step ahead of those teams and I believe Cig will elevate the talent and therefore stay ahead of many of them. Perhaps not Michigan . . . time will tell but his saying "IU is the emerging powerhouse" was not just blowing smoke . . . Cig believes it and I think he is the coach that can make it happen. Still, I'd take a 9-3 record for next year right now and be very happy with it.

Do you see anybody that looks like WR Smith from OSU? How about DB Downs? Did you see the punt return? Who can do that for us?

Guys like Rourke, Kamara, Carpenter, Price are over-achievers. Nothing wrong with that. A lot right.

Someone mentioned teams like Boise and Tulane. I'll add BYU. Over-achievers. Like us. And we were the #1 achiever in the country until Rourke hurt his thumb. Since then the O has fallen off the cliff.

Teams like OSU, Michigan, PSU and most of the SEC pass the airport test. Teams like IU, BYU, KSU, Boise don't. Makes it fun to beat them.......doesn't change the fact that there is a big talent differential..

I tell you who looks a lot like us is SMU.
