Looks like OSU-Mich. is already called off. This season is a cluster**** no matter how you slice it. If I'm the NCAA, I just forego the NCS playoff this season and do the traditional bowl invite approach (assuming they can even play them by then). No way is perfect ever, and definitely not under the s***storm of 2020. 1 hour ago, IU Scott said: You probably want to edit a couple of words before the mods see your post Agreed, the word '2020' should be permanently banned from the English language.

I was just letting my emotions speak (especially at the prospect of an historic IU season potentially being tainted - or not (??) - by a carnivalesque year. I suspect people will agree this is one instance where such language is actually apropos. Of utmost importance is staying strong that this season cannot be tarnished even by the absolute disaster of the year 2020! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Part of me wants Wisconsin to maul Iowa this weekend, but part of me wants Iowa to win so they are ranked as high as possible if we were to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our win at Wisconsin is better than anything they have. And, they have one of the worst losses of anybody in the top 20 with their loss to Purdue. Oklahoma losing to KSU, and Northwestern losing to MSU are the only ones that are even comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UL is ranked but... they did get beat by 3TDs.. so I have no way of understanding how someone that lost AT HOME TO A MIDMAJOR can be ahead of a team that lost by a TD on the road vs. #4.

btownqb Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 We (posters on the football board, including myself) need to do a better job of knowing where to post certain things in certain threads though. Anything talking about rankings should be in the "Where will we be ranked" thread... This thread is for general IU football 2020 info... like the team shutting down practices, etc. Big Ten thread (obvious) National thread (obvious) Game of the week thread (obvious) I hate clutter lol let's make sure we are posting things in the appropriate thread to keep discussion fluid (as much as possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Want to interject. Hoosier Sports Nation has the best mods in the business.

Artesian_86 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Found this over on the OSU's elevenwarriors.com football message board.... They are saying the BIG is going to vote today on whether or not to keep a 6 game requirement. This poster is pitching that since IU is currently shut down, they may not be able to play in the BIG Championship game if rules stick....Pretty funny. Ludwig Yards 12 MINUTES AGO Based on this, I'm guessing PSU will vote no. The Ohio State — Michigan game has been canceled and Indiana has paused all activities due to Covid. With the current B1G rule and a win on Saturday, Penn State will be in the B1G title game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 One thing we know about Allen and this team, they aren't going to let any of the noise get them down. They're not going to sit around and whine and complain and not bring it on the field. I have every confidence that the rankings and OSU getting catered to will be good motivation for us. Really looking forward to the rest of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
