re: Let's take a look at Indiana's brutal first 6 games on the schedule

oh wow, our mistake
They play two of the last three national title winners, plus USC and Washington, within a 5 game span. #1, 14, 17, 19 are their estimated preseason rankings. 3 of them are legit playoff contenders.
To mock their schedule is just stupid. If they’re unbeaten at the end of that, they’ll deserve to be #1

That’s just not true. And it’s hilarious you think it is. In 2025, every single one of the 18 schools had a P4 game scheduled.
Except for:
Indiana - Old Dominion, Kennesaw State, Indiana St
Maryland - FAU, NIU, Towson
Rutgers - Ohio, Miami (OH), Norfolk State
Northwestern - Tulane, Western Illinois, ULM
Penn State - Nevada, FIU, Villanova

Yeah, that’s this season. It’s one season. Last season, every single one of them played a Power conference OOC.
You’ll find this in the SEC when they move to 9. There aren’t always options for OOC power teams with all the leagues expanding in league play.

That is the 2025 season….

AI lied to me…
That said. You didn’t show that most of the league plays nobody OOC. It’s an 18 school league. The vast majority are playing 10 power conference games.

That’s fine. I was just clearing up the comment that all 18 played a P4 OOC.
Cig and Indiana are the biggest offenders.
Cig won’t play a major OOC opponent until 2030 when they travel to Notre Dame, and will not have played one in his first 6 seasons (canceled Louisville in 2024 and 2025, canceled UCONN in 2026, and canceled UVA in 2027-28).
It’s a genius strategy, but it’s a load of crap when he’s talking about the SEC “whining,” given that Indiana’s schedules are built to allow them to be able to lose their 1 or 2 biggest conference games and still get into a playoff.

Ain’t nothing like having six week 0’s to get ready for the meat of your schedule

That should land them in the Nation's Top Ten by the idiots that only go by the "Win/Loss" columns and not by strength of schedule.

East Carolina (Only team in the 1st 5 games with a winning record in 2025)
Kentucky
Florida State
South Carolina
Mississippi State

What's Notre Dame's excuse?

That’s why we have 9 conference games now

Is this the part where you pretend Michigan, USC and Washington are basically South Carolina, Kentucky, and Mississippi State? Two have played for national titles since anyone in the SEC has and one won it. All of them will likely be ranked in the AP top 20 preseason poll.
USC has as much talent as anyone, returns 17 starters from a ranked team. Heisman contender QB. Just hired Gary Patterson at DC.

If I’m not mistaken Indiana was suppose to have a home and home with UVA but backed our. As if they had kept it would it even make a difference for people dogging their scheduled.

hey dickhead, i never said a word about any SEC schools,i laughed at your premise that those schools were some sort of impressive wins. 3 9-4 teams, i'm fricking impressed

Well yea because the results on the field have shown the better conference annually for 20 years. The SEC was better for about 15 years, then they were close to each other in 22/23 and then the B1G has been better since

lol. How many 10-11 win top 10 teams you think each team gets a shot at when they’re one of them?
