btownqb Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Besides being too low... we're close to getting a NY6 regardless right? I should say.. we need one of OU or ISU to win big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks on BCS system. Miami beat Florida St head to head in 2000 but because the pollsters loved Bowden that put them over the hump and let FSU play Oklahoma for a title when they had zero business being there.

Hoosierfan1215 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 If Florida, Oklahoma or ISU lose,that means we should jump up 2 spots. Cincinnati should win. Georgia and AnM will stay for sure. My 2 least favorite teams are OSU because I live in Ohio and Bama because I’m a Tennessee fan too..this weekend imma be rooting for both of them to blow the doors off Florida and NW...I’m gonna be drinking Saturday early...

If Coastal wins their conference they'll probably jump us... and if Iowa State loses to Oklahoma are we confident we'll be ahead of Iowa State? After Florida fell one spot for losing to LSU? I would think we're rooting hard for Louisiana and Iowa State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the CFP decides the NY6 bowls. Where the AP/Coaches put us is entirely irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Well just heard that Iowa St is getting the benefit of beating Oklahoma bit at the time Oklahoma was 1-1. So they get the benefit now that Oklahoma is ranked 10th. Where as wins over PSU and UM doesn't give us anything even though they were ranked at the time.

They absolutely should if they lose, but after Florida dropping 1 spot, I don't know anymore. Same thing with Florida. Before tonight, I had 100% confidence that a 3 loss Florida would be behind us. Not nearly as confident anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy4iu Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 36 minutes ago, Leathernecks said: The highest any of the 62 voters in the AP poll have Florida is 8th, and somehow the committee thinks they should be 7th. I have no doubt we're going to get screwed out of a NY6 bowl. They don't even try to hide the fact that the name on the front of the jersey is 75% of how they rank teams. And we don’t have opportunity to play again before Sunday so just watch #12 Coastal Carolina beat #19 Louisianna in their championship game and jump us. Maddening as we should be well up the NY6 bowl pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 tow loss teams ahead if us because the name on the front of the jersey Painful and frustrating yes....but I’m telling you guys in the eyes of the committee, a healthy Penix led IU team, we are top 10 easy....but in reality the committee most likely sees a Tuttle led team with uncertainty. This has to be a huge part of their rational..........It just Sux! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 The way I see it, there are plenty of paths for us to stay in the New Years 6 bowls. Right now, we're the last team in. Right now, there are 14 teams for 12 spots. The 15-18 teams don't play, so they're not jumping us. UNC could get to 12, but we'd be ahead of them, so it doesn't really matter. If 2 out of Northwestern, Coastal Carolina, Oklahoma, or Cincinnati lose, we're in. Any of them lose, they'll be below us. Any of them win, I think they'll be ahead of us. 2 losses from those teams, we're a lock. If 3 of those teams win, it gets more complicated. We'll need a 3 loss Florida, or a 3 loss Iowa State to drop below us. If all 4 of those teams win, we'll need a 3 loss Florida, and a 3 loss Iowa State to both drop below us. I don't have a lot of faith in that happening after tonight's rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to show this to the ESPN people who created the algorithm that is predicting that we have a 13% chance to make the playoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
