Not sure what we wanted there. This should put us above Tennessee for now but wanted to knock Georgia out.Georgia/Tennessee?
Looks like there could easily be 6 teams in the SEC that will finish the regular season with 2 losses. The SEC championship game will give one of them a 3rd loss so I could see the committee looking at the 5- two loss teams but will they pull the trigger?CFP Final Team Selection Count
SEC -5
Big Ten - 3
ACC - 1
Big 12 - 1
Notre Dame
Group of 5 - 1
A&M will still likely get beat by Texas which should definitively knock them out…Looks like there could easily be 6 teams in the SEC that will finish the regular season with 2 losses.

IU needs to make a good showing next weekend to remove any doubt they belong. Just Win Baby!!

if they put 6 sec teams in the playoffs they might as well just make the sec title game the national championship.They want to put upwards of 6 teams from the SEC into the CFP and will be making a lot of noise for this in the next two weeks.
A three loss GA would not have stopped the SEC delusionNot sure what we wanted there. This should put us above Tennessee for now but wanted to knock Georgia out.
When I saw the article on X this morning why 4 loss LSU needs CFP consideration, I had to laugh. A LOT of SEC media is already pushing BS this morning after yesterday's results. Lets see how quiet the UT fans are this week on X posts related to IU Football.They want to put upwards of 6 teams from the SEC into the CFP and will be making a lot of noise for this in the next two weeks.
Unlike FSU last year who also had a weak SOS, someone one pointed out to me yesterday ... there are 12 teams this year instead of 4. Even if IU loses Saturday (I think they win that game) I don't see IU being left out of the CFP.If we lose Saturday the only way I think we get in is if Penn St loses at Minnesota and I don’t see that happening.
Nope. They'd still have the third best schedule.A three loss GA would not have stopped the SEC delusion
good to see another Sagarin follower. I still like that poll the best out of all the polls. It shows SC's SOS #5 ... but didn't the scUM AD say last week when asked about SOS, that on field performance was worth more than SOS in deciding the 12 teams after after conference champions? I think my old brain cells remember that.South Carolina? Sagarin has it rated 10, and above IU and Bama. At 3 losses.
Playoff Committee is in Texas, so you gotta go there.If IU gets left out of the CFP because a 2-3 loss SEC team, the NCAA headquarters better move far far away from Indy or riots will ensue and that building will probably be burnt to the ground!
NCAA has nothing to do with the CFP.If IU gets left out of the CFP because a 2-3 loss SEC team, the NCAA headquarters better move far far away from Indy or riots will ensue and that building will probably be burnt to the ground!
You're thinking logically. Not committee-ly.Hard to fathom a loss at #2 drops #5 past 11-12 unless we just get dragged up and down the field all game long. I will be watching how much the teams that lost yesterday move for the precedent. If they don't drop 10+ spots there would seemingly be no precedent for IU to drop that far in the event of a loss by say 17 points give or take.
