southend Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 They can’t punish Indiana for their success, but they can’t penalize the “Nuts” for something out of their control. ( although Irishman brought up a good point with controlling the virus) so they have to logically save face here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballking16 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Not sure it matters if OSU wins the B10 or not. OSU is getting into the CFB as long as they have a zero in the loss column. One could argue that Iowa is a better game right now than Northwestern. Why not just let IU/NW play in the B10 championship based on the rules agreed to in the beginning of the year? And while we’re on the talk of the CFB, what is the love for the Big 12? Iowa State at 7 with two losses is laughable. CFB head of committed cited IU’s lack of wins against the top 25 as a reason for no movement? Dude, they’ve knocked 3 teams out of the top 25 this year. Alabama and....IU are the only two teams college football this year to beat at least 3 teams in the top 25. Selection committee is keeping Oklahoma alive in the event Clemson loses to ND.

What’s the justification for Georgia being 9? They beat two top 25 teams (who aren’t currently ranked) and have been blown out against any real competition. Usually when you beat a top 25 team, they drop. I don’t get how Northwestern beats Wisconsin and jumps 11 spots and then IU beats Wisconsin at Wisconsin with a backup a QB and doesn’t move an inch while Wisconsin drops completely out? There’s no rhyme or reason to any of their justifications. Edited December 9, 2020 by Footballking16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be Bama (regardless of what happens in the SEC title game). It'll be the winner of Clemson/Notre Dame. It'll be Ohio State.

A top 10 ranking gets IU a NY6 Bowl and would be monumental for the program going forward. I'm not arguing nor think IU deserves to be in discussion for the actual 4 team playoff, but they are getting absolutely shafted right now. Beating Wisconsin on the road and not moving up a spot is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone at Georgia or Miami know that Indiana HAS a football team? If its a popularity contest, why is a 2 loss Iowa State ranked 7th? If that was the case, they wouldn't be ranked in the top 20, let alone 7th. If its a popularity contest, an undefeated Cincinnati team would be ranked somewhere around 15th just like every other G5 in years past. If its a popularity contest, they somehow would have found a way to put a 4-0 USC team, starving for needed national attention, in the top 8.

As an ND fan, who was ecstatic with their win over an under manned Clemson squad, I do not see ND doing well should they make the "Final 4". I still think the 2 best teams are Alabama (by far) and then Clemson. I am interested in the outcome of the ND/Clemson ACC Title Game. I am going to say Clemson by 10-14. Just do not see Ian Book continuing what he has been doing, especially against an amped up Clemson D (presuming everyone is healthy). ND could still have a GREAT year if they lose to Clemson in the ACC Title Game and win their major Bowl game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 But, since they need 4 teams for the CFP, I agree with @temptation "It'll be Bama (regardless of what happens in the SEC title game). It'll be the winner of Clemson/Notre Dame. It'll be Ohio State. It'll be either Florida (if they upset Bama in the SEC title game) or Texas A&M (if Bama beats Florida)."

temptation Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 56 minutes ago, DE said: LOL. All scummy and filthy I get it, I totally do. I would have more sympathy had they missed three games due to other teams' doing, but one of them was due to their inability to stay healthy. Notice, they were also the only team that had an "outbreak" that only missed one game. They KNEW they needed to play at MSU last week and did so despite missing TWENTY-THREE guys. It was settled on the field and they beat Indiana, but this spits in the face of even having rules to begin with. The conference messed up by starting late and then doubled down by having ZERO bye weeks in anticipation this could happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
