If Indiana gets left out as a 1 loss team, with their only loss coming from the #2 team in the country, then the Big Ten should quit the whole system.

1. I agree.
2. They aren't being left out this year, if they beat Purdue. This year. There's not enough teams to jump Indiana this year. Maybe another year there'll be teams with 2 losses that can pass Indiana. But it isn't happening this year.

To your second point; Several of those teams around IU in the standings are playing games they could damn well lose this weekend.

IU is not.

Indiana will get lucky and likely get in. But the idea that if your only loss is to #2 then... isn't a valid argument.

They haven't played anybody. And that was obvious when the schedules came out. If there were a real contender, they would have scheduled a tough OOC team, but they didn't. Indiana deliberately didn't so they could run the table. And it worked out.

But it shouldn't. They shouldn't be rewarded for having a joke schedule.

OSU has a joke OOC schedule but they didn't need to have anybody else since they had Oregon, PSU, scUM

The best thing to happen would be for Indiana to get destroyed by 3 TDs in the opening round. And the committee will hopefully have learned their lesson.

How would they have scheduled a "premier OOC game" given the timing of the PAC teams coming into the BIG ? Just like we did this year, oh wait we played a shit OOC schedule also ....

You can only play the teams on your schedule and dominate them which Indiana largely did.

Schedules are made by the teams.

Indiana has never scheduled a tough OOC opponent.

I do realize with shotgun realignment that they may not have had time to get a tougher OOC opponent.

And if you schedule a joke schedule, you should blow everybody out. I have no problem with them being knocked out because they stunk versus scUM.

And the whole point of having a committee is to realize they didn't dominant every opponent. Look at the box scores. Several were tight well into the second half.

Their schedule is what it is, but their schedule actually looked like a really tough one going into the season. Both teams that competed in the previous CFP title game and OSU.

Their schedule was definitely not a joke when it came out.

This evening at 8PM, it's going to be 27 degrees in Columbus and 41 in Athens, GA. This time next month, the gap will probably be 5-10 degrees larger. SEC! schools and Sankey are going to do everything possible to keep them from going to Columbus, South Bend or Slapping Valley.

If an SEC team had to come to Columbus, South Bend, or Slappy Valley you know that Sankey would be lobbying for the noon game...... :lol:
