it’s what all the big programs should be doing.
These smaller schools need the money anyhow with less OOC games for the big conferences. You get great experience for back ups, you stay healthier, and I think Indiana is banking on the fact that there’s more risk in losing these games than there’s upside in winning them.
I think they’re right.
We very well could be out of the playoffs if we drop 2 more games even if they’re close and even if they’re to top 10 teams. There’s absolutely a world where we finish 9-3 with 3 losses coming by a total of 3 points yet we are out of the playoffs despite losses to 3 top 10 teams.
It risks a lot. But let’s see how this year ends up.
If the scenario above happens and we miss the playoffs we better cancel those OOC games with UGA etc
