Indiana barely got by a poor Michigan team at home. Way overrated just like Miami. If we get to the playoffs, I’d love to see either one.

you actually haven’t watched them play this season.

They,re damn good.

How are you complaining? They just beat last years National Champion and we lost to Arkansas.

Tennessee needs to continue to improve under Nico, or a team like Indiana will end our season.

Tennessee hitting on all cylinders can beat anybody. But our defense is slowly fraying while our offense improves every week. Need both to go up and not be flat.

I hope OSU, IU, and Penn State all make the playoffs and face 3 SEC schools. That would be great.

How is the d fraying? 271 yards and 14 points doesn’t seem to agree.

Last year’s national champion? Evidently you haven’t watched them play. Michigan is horrendous. I’ve seen enough of Indiana to know they have beaten nobody. If they beat Ohio State, then I’ll believe.

The B1G love is real. Something will change on 11/23 though when they play OSU. They will either prove to be the real deal or drop fast when they lose.

They barely beat Michigan at home. Really surprised they jumped like that.

Indiana is a feel good story, first time ever to have 10 wins. OSU will dispose of them, bubble will burst, ala Vandy.

Beat 8-1 Washington State by 21. Their resume isn’t really that different than Penn State, at least not just looking at the schedules.

Penn State has wins over Illinois, Washington, Wisconsin, and USC. Not world beaters but any of them would be better than any team Boise State has faced not named Oregon.

I actually like the disrespect. Will only serve as motivation for our team. Seeding only matters in the first round for home field. After that I hope every team we play is ranked higher than us and people favor them. Especially these overrated Big 10 teams.

I have a feeling if the playoff committee pits the 4 or 5 SEC teams that make the playoffs against the 4 Big 10 teams that we'll expose them.

@hUTch2002 I went and looked at Boise State's schedule and their margin of victories are also impressive. Only two close games: UNLV and Nevada. They have been ripping through their league. I guess that is one reason they are so high.

I think they’re getting a ton of credit for that close loss to Oregon. Funny how that works as it doesn’t seem like we ever get credit for close losses against good teams. I don’t think Penn State is great. To me, they and Boise are relatively close. I’d like our chances against either.

Don't discount all the undefeated teams particularly Indiana. Joe Paterno used to have a light regular season schedule featuring eastern teams. His teams would improve throughout the year and Penn State would be healthy and confident and beat better teams in the bowls. I think Indiana like Washington last season could be a tough draw for several teams in the playoffs.

It's hilarious that if we beat UGA and Bama and FL in same year we still won't be #1 or #2 but indiana can play Western Idaho Tech and Jimmy Johns Sandwich Prep and get in the top 5

This exactly

I knew when the SEC became this superconference teams would just beat up each other. Its just too much of a grind on a weekly. Oh wow, I lndiana has 2 big games a year, Oh wow miami had 2 big games a year, SEC teams will have 3-4 in a damn row.

Somebody earlier said SEC needs a POD system or something. Were just gonna knock ourselfleves out. Hell lets just play a 12 game SEC schedule lol

I have never understood why there has been such a bias against us but I wouldn’t even be surprised if we win out, lose in the SEC title game, and they still find a way to exclude us as one of the 12. Smh

There’s no bias. We’ve not looked like a top ten team for nearly two months.
