As much as I dont want to talk about Indiana....

Should Georgia get in with 2 losses while playing UMASS this week? Or Bama playing Mercer last week? What kind of message does that send to college football? Oregon's first game was with Idaho a team that IU opened with in 2023.

As you miss the point.

Can’t play 3 awful teams in OOC. Then compounded by playing 1 team with a winning record thus far. Of course it effects perception and perception is reality until the season is over and resumes are set.

UGA is playing Umass but also a 7 win GA Tech team and a likely 10 win Clemson team.

If you can’t see the difference in that vs playing Charlotte, Western Illinois and FIU…I can’t help you.

To say they have played a mediocre schedule is even debatable. They currently sit behind no less than 36 non-P4 teams in SOS without a single opponent with at least 1 AP Top 25 vote on game day. It's extraordinary. #5 is laughable. A win vs OSU would change things. An epic close loss might be enough. Anything other than that they should be out.

Coach Walters is not a DEI hire. He was a woefully under prepared hire. Doesn't matter what color a coach is, if he/she produces the same results they should be removed. If he/she is successful, their hiring should have been based on qualifications. Clearly our AD failed in the vetting process.

There were fools on the football forum that did call Walters a DEI hire. People do this every time a black person in leadership roles fail. Notre Dame fans were saying the same thing when they were struggling for a while. When a white person on a leadership roll fails, nothing derogatory is said.

And we're seeing your side do it right now in Oklahoma. Why can't you ever admit you guys do it too?

I am against any religious exercise at a government function, school or otherwise. It's likely there are football players on the team that are non Christian. Jews, Muslims, people who don't have religious beliefs. But it happens all the time at school functions outside the classroom. Sports events, commencements, meetings. Guess what? 99.99% of the time we non Christians say nothing. I bow my head out of respect for YOUR RELIGION even though I don't believe in it. We just let it go. Live and let live.

You MAGA grievance warriors should try it sometime.

Bob, please...don't bow your head for my religion. I detest phony and fake people and that's phony and fake.

I don't believe teachers should promote any political or religious beliefs in the classroom. I assume the alphabet soup flag refers to something LGBTQ. Lifestyles shouldn't be promoted either.

A good teacher should promote intelligent and respectful debate on such topics while taking no positions on them. I'm good with that. Many people aren't, on both sides of the aisle.

I know what a GOOD TEACHER is Bob. I was married to one of the best until her passing from a brain tumor. Lines two wide around a city block at her viewing. A mile and half long procession to her entombment. A stack of letters of love and appreciation from her students of 30 years that is almost 2" thick. The teachers in her school (public) prayed as a group every morning before class and had prayers for those with special needs of any type as needed. Thank God she never had to deal with the woke classroom or the lunacy that exists about education today.

IU always made up for playing in the big ten East by scheduling crap out of conference. Tradition appears to continue.

Indiana always scheduled teams Wake Forest and Virginia for awhile. But it never really made any sense for the program. They even played Mizzou in 13 and 14. Actually beat a ranked Mizzou on the road in 14. But a program that is normally trying to find 6 wins like needles in a haystack, it doesn't make sense to make it more difficult on yourself.

If Indiana gets in while losing to Ohio State, I think the blueprint is there.

1. Have a decent team.
2. Schedule nobody in the non-conference. Remember they bought out the Louisville game they had scheduled.
3. Have a conference schedule in one of these new mega conferences where you miss most or all of the best teams and beat the lower level teams.

Personally, I would not reward a team sitting on the fence that schedules so poorly out of conference. You can't control the conference schedule but if you happen to have a really bad one and don't beat any quality teams, and didn't play any out of conference, I don't think that should be rewarded. If it is, we're going to see some really boring Septembers in college football in the near future because if all that matters is wins then there is no incentive to play decent competition.

Reminds me of qualifying for the NCAA tournament and the Quad wins. The value of your opponents and wins matter. They should in football as well. When a team is on the bubble in February and March, beating the last place team on your homecourt doesn't move you. It shouldn't in football either.

That said, I think it's absurd that any conference should get more than 2 teams in the playoffs. Certainly not 4. The conference season should determine who the best teams are in each conference. If that's impossible because we now barely play half the other teams in the Big Ten and SEC each year, that's too bad for those conferences. Find a better format or way to determine your champion.

Of course that's exactly why the new playoff format skipped right from 4 teams, over the logical number of 8, and directly to 12. The Big Ten and SEC run the show now and want to flood the field with 3/4 teams each for money. Just a terrible setup from the start. I don't care to watch SEC football in the regular season and I certainly don't care to watch them rematch in the playoffs. And you know when Indiana and Penn State should play? During the conference season. Then one of them would have a quality win and we would know who belongs in the playoffs.

Yea Indiana should just keep scheduling bad conference teams every year. There is really no use for Indiana or any Big Ten team to schedule any out of conference games against P4 teams. Oh Georgia scheduled Clemson and Georgia Tech? Cool they also scheduled UMass and Tennessee Tech. Georgia just did the equivalent of playing 9 conference games and scheduling a P4 team. It really makes no difference. Now will Indiana change that? Maybe. That's the only reason they scheduled with UofL to begin with was because they felt the program was going to be better(forgetting Tom Allen was still around). Schedule 3 cupcakes because most years you're still playing a few good teams in a 9 game conference schedule.
