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

Not “everyone.” And IU didn’t “only” lose by ten. They just plain lost by ten; 27-17.

They also won 11 games and had an extraordinary season. Those writers and his coaching peers overwhelming voted him as national coach of the year. I think he’d sleep just fine knowing that your opinion of him matters… to you.

And then he’ll be up at 4:30 am to work towards making it happen again next year. It’s no fluke and it’s no accident that the man and his staff win,
Oh my apologies. I guess just the group of IU fans I watched the game with. They were literally pissed by his coaching and gutless calls the entire game saying how different it was. Then again they probably arent on the Purdue board after midnight still seeking validation.

12 is too many as evidenced by this weekend. 16 would be worse.
So then 68 is clearly way too many for college basketball right? Can't be having blowouts in the first round anymore. Are you sure 4 isn't too many? Considering the amount of blowouts in the first round of the 4 team playoff? Maybe 2 is too many. Can't have any blowouts in the national championship game right, so let's just pick the champion without playing the game.
 
It could be that none of them deserve to be in. By the results this past weekend that seems like a valid assertion. 12 is too many.
Since you're just soooooo worried about blowouts...

4 team playoff first round- 17.9 average point margin
4 team title game- 20.1

BCS title- 14.6

Bowl Coalition title- 10

Bowl Alliance title- 31.7

It's almost like blowouts are kinda just the norm 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Na you and he are obsessed with how much time you spend here begging for our approval. Most would get what I meant since it has been mentioned many times, but you being not the sharpest bulb has to have it explained to you it seems.

Double derp.
No one is begging for the commies approval.

I'm against unnecessary blowouts. I'm for giving power conference champions a shot. If blowouts occur there, so be it. I don't need or want to see the fourth best team from any conference blown out.

You can argue this any way you want. The facts remains that IU paid to ensure a weak schedule, was beaten soundly in their only game of consequence, and was wrongly awarded a playoff spot. The result supports that. Your justifications don't matter.

The “facts” were weighed by a national committee of experts who found them worthy of inclusion in the CFP. As the ninth best team in the nation and the ten seed. That “wrongly” characterization is your… opinion. And that’s all good. Message boards are great for opinions!

We can argue it anyway we want— they went 11-1, got in the playoffs, and then lost 27-17. Simply incredible and incredibly successful.

Merry Christmas to all!

They paid to have 3 wins. Hey still played 9 conference games. It just happens that Nebraska fell off after the IU game, Northwestern, Maryland, Michigan, Washington all fell off from last season. Indiana has no power there but they took care of business and blew the doors off everyone on the schedule besides Michigan and Ohio State. Indiana without a doubt deserved where they got to by doing what the teams behind them couldn't do, WIN.
 
He coached scared against ND.
IU won 11 games. So they got in. You can argue that. I know the Alabama fans are pissed because of the eye test. Which is how selections were made in the past. The media has to stop complaining because their favorite blue blood didn’t get selected. And there is no way to compare schedules without deep analysis which was the computer model we didn’t like either. So there is bias and the human element.
