of the year. Watched them for the first time this year. Both of their lines got manhandled. Didn't see an area they are outstanding at. Definitely not a top 10 team and shouldn't be in the playoff. They will still beat us 48 to 7 next week. BoBo need to wake up. It's time for a new coach for us.
Loosiers Failed Their Only Real Test...

Which just goes to show why 12 teams is a ridiculous number that wastes our time.
An absolute joke of a schedule. They scheduled incredibly weak and have barely beat anyone with a winning record. Like 2020 all over again. Good team no doubt and significantly better than we are, but if they had our schedule they’d have 4 losses.
Funny how there was never any real discussion of 8. Seemed like the perfect number to me. Four major conference champs, room for a top g5 team, and still 3 more at large. Just make sure no conference could claim more than one at large spot and it was golden. As we can see, 12 just allows for more teams that didn't deserve it to have a shot.
Here's a stat you don't see everyday:
Indiana had 16 first downs but just 151 yards of offense.

That's pretty amazing. Was the total offense dumbed down by yardage lost on sacks?
Probably. As a team, Indiana had -68 rushing yards. Rourke had -33. Indiana probably also picked up a few first downs off OSU penalties (9 total).
We are a very bad program right now and out performed a "top 5" program late in the year fighting for a CFP spot 😂.
6th vs. 106 SOS. I get it! IU was the football story this year, but after playing a top tier program they got dog walked.
Unfortunately, they're probably going to take it out on Purdue next weekend.
Cignetti has already been lobbying for Indiana. They'll be looking to put up 60+.
Lord knows Purdue's taken them to the cleaners plenty of times.
1. Strength of schedule will have improved quite a bit after yesterday, not just because they played OSU, but also because Nebraska, UM, and Washington are all now above .500 and bowl eligible.
2. Really good teams lose sometimes, especially on the road to even better teams. It’s way better than getting smoked by Oklahoma, Kansas, Auburn, or Florida. Like Bama, Colorado, A&M, or Ole Miss did.
3. IU’s college football playoff ESPN chances before yesterday? 96%. IU’s chances as of this morning? 98%.

I hate ND but they beat A&M and Louisville. Two good wins, they will get in before indiana as long as they win on road vs USC.
