IU did not deserve to be in CFP. Great article by USA Today

[Katscratch]

This irrelevant, inaccurate comment demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of cfb on your part.

It’s inaccurate that IU beat both UM and Washington, the two teams from the previous national championship game? Neither team was as good this year but both were bowl teams, and UM will finish as a ranked team.

That is flat out true.

That is flat out true.

That is flat out false.

The two teams from the 2024 NC no longer existed. New coaches, new players, many players gone.

They got “smoked?”

Lots of CFP teams got smoked worse.
You can’t have it both ways; if you assess by final score? They lost to ND by 10. If you assess by mid-game? They were down 7 at half at OSU and had more yards from scrimmage at that point.

Both were solid wins by the home team; the two eventual teams in the National Championship game.

You want to know what “smoked” looks like? Try what IU did to then #25 Nebraska, what they did to UCLA or MSU on the road, or what they did to Purdue in the Bucket game.

That’s “smoked.”

They got smoked they were down 27-3 with 90 seconds left. you’re the only idiot that doesn’t seem to get it all my iu friends and family admit it.

Then #25 Nebraska? The Nebraska team that finished big ten 3-6? You’re kidding right nebraska was not ever the 25th best team that was early season it was all still getting sorted out. Yea indiana smoked them. All those games indiana won by a lot and smoked the other team but none of them were against good teams.

I don’t understand what you are trying to do here. Almost all of us agree indiana deserves to be in the CFP. But the. You start talking like indiana was an elite team well they weren’t. No better tier of greatness than Boises State, Alabama, Michigan, TN, or SMU. And that’s one all we’re good teams this year. But let’s not pretend you guys were competing with the elite teams (ND, OSU, Oregon, PSU, Texas, Georgia). Huge drop off after that.
