Very disappointing for sure. Watching Smith dribble the air out of the ball because no one else can do anything against elite defenders is pretty frustrating.
There was zero argument for Ole Miss or Alabama getting in. Those teams allowed teams like SMU and Indiana to get in. Don't lose to crappy teams like Vandy, Kentucky and Oklahoma and to unranked Florida. Do your job and win, and you're in. All Bama had to do was beat Oklahoma and they got absolutely stomped and embarrassed. Ole Miss lost at HOME to a terrible Kentucky team.Pretty much an indictment and getting to the heart of what TC has been arguing - 12 is the wrong number if you want a balanced and deserving championship field. This year may be an outlier - who knows with the way some of the unbalanced schedules ended up. But, they have to fill out the field, and doesn't overall record have to mean something? Yeah - you can distinguish teams in a 4 or even 8-team field, but how else.
I also hate using the playoff results themselves only to justify inclusion. Yeah, maybe Alabama or Miami would have been more competitive - but that's different IMO from whether they should be in or not......
They will factor SOS in more , as they should - how that works quantitatively or qualitatively is a different story.
You still could possibly end up with two Big Ten teams and two SEC teams in the semi-finals - or even three SEC teams - the cartel will be smiling then.
Indiana had a SOS of 67 entering the ND game. ND had a SOS of 60. Both teams whooped every team on their schedule but 1. And they didn't lose to multiple unranked teams like Ole Miss and Alabama. So it was pretty easy to put them in.IU schedules the right way for a team in their position (PU should do same thing). Schedule 3 sure wins to start season so you have a chance for a bowl each year. Next season, here is IU's 1st 3 games all at home:
IU benefited from an "easy" B1G schedule they won't always get that. They played 3 teams all season that had winning records (ND, UM and OSU). Not worthy of the playoff and I'm sure between them and SMU they have ruined it for any other team like them to make it in the coming years. Committee won't make that mistake again.
- Aug. 30 (Saturday) vs. Old Dominion at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind.
- Sept. 6 (Saturday) vs. Kennesaw State at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind.
- Sept. 13 (Saturday) vs. Indiana State at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind.
New starters at the 2-3-4.A bunch? Besides Berg and Waddell…who else would you say?
If it helps. Auburn has a lot more NIL money. Plus they committed to be good basketball a few years ago.
yea Berg should go and maybe Waddell to Butler or somewhere similarBerg should go. Wadell can be a walk on or go.
hopefully the girls volleyball team virus doesn't get to our teamHope they dont leave the team in general tho
I mean there's no doubt they need to pick it up. And maybe they are better as role players than starters, but they are absolutely talented and I certainly hope they stay. I just hope the light comes on and they figure out how to be more consistent.We shall see in the conference. As of now they haven’t done anything with their minutes besides being exposed by good teams. I am ok being wrong.

We have so many more problems than Jacobsen. We were outclassed at positions 1-5 today.When Jacobsen went down so did our chance for doing anything special this year. Maybe we make it to the Sweet 16 but that would be the best I can hope for.
That was a biblical beating. I don't think we could have played any worse.same to you , hopefully we get some football presents this weekend as in Rebel transfers
Berg should go. Wadell can be a walk on or go.We will have room for at least 2 as scholarships go from 13->15. West replaces Furst and i wouldn’t be surprised if at least 1 of Waddell and Berg transfer out.
nice plays from Burgess at the endNah that's an overreaction
same to you , hopefully we get some football presents this weekend as in Rebel transfersMerry Christmas to everyone!!
Nah that's an overreactionHarris, Heide Colvin. They can’t play versus top 20 teams. Can’t defend or score besides that they are ok.
Tex: I give CMP a pass this year. He obviously thought the 2 frosh and 2 soph were ready to play at this level. However, if he doesn't go portal for help next year, that will be a different story.Burgess has potential, and Harris will eventually find his groove IMO - maybe not this year. I understand people hate hearing it, but you have to be a little patient with some of this. Yeah - Painter has his work cut out for him, but the guy can still coach.
