MoyeCowbell Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 We really shouldn't be any lower than 9th. (I put our body of work up against any other 1-loss team as well.) We just won on the road as -13.5 dogs against #16 Wisconsin who many thought were the second best team in the Big Ten. Ohio State can't simultaneously receive credit for beating us and we get zero credit for all of our wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that is a big part of the disrespect” we are getting from the committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know if we play Iowa that CTA would use that angle for motivation after that quote.

FritzIam4IU Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Isn't Wisconsin still ranked? Did IU not beat them? Also PSU and UM were both ranked when Hoosiers beat them. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 This is really all that needs to be said. The CFP is a broken system and its beyond clear they are incapable of being impartial. Oh well, it at least feels good to be in a position to be snubbed in the rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Lol there's no reason UGA, ISU, OU, Cincinnati, and Miami are ahead of us. Zero reason. Also.. UW not being ranked and Missouri being ranked is laughable. I blame this on Kevin Warren though. We should have played either a 10 game schedule when the SEC started or 8 game schedule with built in breaks to make up for loss weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Actually... now that I think about it... the committee did us a huge favor. CTA has even more ammunition for motivation. As Micah McFadden said last night "tell us when and where".. and he isn't showing up for a football game, he's showing up for a fist fight and bringing a whole bunch of bad dudes with him.

IndyHoosier22 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Let’s just hope we can play this weekend, because after this fiasco I think we’d love the opportunity to kick the shit out of Purdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 With our game this weekend cancelled, it worries me what might happen to our CFP ranking. I wouldn't be surprised if the committee moves teams past us. Coastal Carolina, Northwestern, USC, and Iowa specifically. If Iowa beats Wisconsin, would anybody really be surprised if they moved ahead of us? There's no way they should, but there's no way they should be within 4 spots of us right now. USC isn't a big deal since the PAC 12 gets a NY6 bowl anyways. They'd get it if they were ahead of us or behind us. If they lose, the next best team won't catch us in rankings. I think we'd need to be top 10 to guarantee a NY6 bowl. A PAC 12 team and a group of 5 team could be lower and take the #11 and #12 spots. With Cincinnati ahead of us, we'd only need to be top 11. There are some head to head games ahead of us, so hopefully they move us up when one of those teams loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think if IU wins crossover game they would get NY6 Fiesta Bowl, but it wouldn't shock me if IU landed in Citrus Bowl either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Iowa beats WI I think it would help IU for sure...just not sure if WI wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
