re: Dropping Indiana five spots is dumb

They will beat USC this weekend. All they do is win.

They're getting punished for the lack of quality scheduling as other teams behind them get quality wins.
They'll keep dropping as I don't think they have any quality win possibilities left.

You can say that about their OOC schedule. But they don’t get to set their B1G schedule. Other than the protected rivalries, the B1G schedule rotates. Just like the SEC.
Obviously a down year for the B1G and they also keep eating their own teams.

The point still remains...they don't have any quality wins. The CFP isn't make-a-wish.

I’m not defending Indiana, but what logic is there behind dropping a team from four to nine that didn’t play. One or two okay, but five? Seems like we are pulling them out of a hat at this point.
There loss keeps looking worse and they have not been impressive at all this year.

They'll be in 100% if they win this weekend, but they have to win this weekend. They'll likely finish up on that 9 or 10 line with the schedule, but they'll definitely be in.

I'd be a bit concerned if I were an Alabama fan. The Committee is setting them up for a bit of a rug pull.
Best wins are going to be Kentucky, LSU, and South Carolina. UK is definitely staring at least one and potentially 2+ more losses. South Carolina is definitely taking another L.
Alabama is in the unenvious spot of having to root for LSU to beat Texas and especially Tennessee, else they'll be a 10 - 2 team with maybe only 2 top 25 wins and none in the top 15. They'll be staring at a 7 or 8 seed with that resume.
What is there to be concerned about? We will get a home game first round if we are 7 or 8.
If we get into the SECCG we'll have a chance to play for a top 4 seed and get a bye. If we get in and lose then we'll probably be in the same situation as we would be if we would have not gotten into the SECCG.
"Bit of a rug pull", not that you all would get dropped five spots in a week like IU, but that it may be a slow bleed of 4 or 5 spots even as you keep winning until the conference title games. Lose that, and you may be looking at a road playoff game to start depending on what happens around you.
Not that I have a particularly strong feeling towards Alabama as a program or this team in particular one way or the other - more of what I see as a pattern of how the Committee has operated, especially this year. Lots of football to be played yet, though.

You guys are freaking hilarious. You are talking about a conference that has had 3 different teams win the Natty the past 3 years and your logic is that they suck? Good lord. You guys have to go back 7 years to say that.
And you make fun of the ACC when Miami just motorboated all over your conference. All your arguments were valid 5 years ago. They no longer are which is why your conference is now being told what to do - “play a 9 game schedule”, “ yes sir” - “agree to 24 teams”, “yes sir”.
You better hope UGA keeps it going because heaven forbid Miami, ND, or Indiana win it all because who knows what ESPN would force you to do next.

Indiana will play 2 ranked teams this year.
6-3 #20 Ohio State
7-2 #18 USC
For comparison, LSU will play
6-3 #19 Ole Miss
7-2 #11 Kentucky
7-2 #3 Bama
7-2 #6 Texas
7-2 #8 Tennessee
There is zero comparison in the schedule. Like you should be embarrassed to even try to make a comparison.

And lsu didn’t struggle against the weaker teams, like Indiana has all year

Ranking them No. 4 the week before was dumber.

You hearts desire isn't reality.
You were mad and confused when Alabama was ranked #5 then #3 and you're going to be even more confused and angry when they won't drop because the commitee doesn't respect either of their losses and sees Alabama at worst as the second best team when healthy

You guys are freaking addicted to rankings. Will you ever grow up and realize rankings are nothing but propaganda? They are a joke. UGA lost to an unranked Auburn at home and the rankings say they are the #1 team. In what world? You can list all your “ranked” wins and beat your chest but they mean nothing in a playoff. How many ranked wins did Miami have last year, yet they ran thru the SEC with little problem. Just stop with this ranked wins garbage. They were given rankings in August by ESPN to get you guys to buy tickets, watch games, and make ESPN. No other sport has to use rankings.
