Rooting hard for IU and the upset, but just like the only other time they played a good team this year it’s looking like a total physical mismatch.
Hope they can settle down (especially the QB) and put together a scoring drive here, but sure wouldn’t live bet on that based on that first quarter.

Bama fan going to say this about every team that loses?

I mean I kind of agree - South Carolina was deserving.

We throwing out the first half of the season? I think SC was playing great at the end of the year too but it's nonsense to claim stuff based on a playoff result. We do this every March when some 11 seed loses in the first round and they didn't deserve something over another mediocre team.
An 11-1 Big Ten team is going to the playoffs. Every time. They beat the hell out of everyone they played but Ohio State. If that were Penn State or MIchigan's resume they would be a 5 seed.

Yes. Over half the teams in the playoff are undeserving. Indiana is one of them

Some of us are having fun in here. Try some.
If I'm a recruit, I'm loving what I see from Freeman. I would love to play for him.

Indiana has false start on the punt. Punter underarms the ball over to the sideline. One of the refs near him looking at him, opens his arms like "WTF".

These QBs are really hard to watch
SFBayDuck
Footballguy
Agreed. I’m a long time, and hence somewhat pessimistic, Duck fan. But I have to feel that we have the best QB in the field, maybe even by far? And I’m sure hoping that matters….a lot.

Down the entire DL starters, down Love for half the game, Riley being clearly affected by the weather (and at home, he’s just better on the road), and we’re still holding the 43 ppg offense to 3 points and making it no question.
ND showed up in a playoff game for once. Good on Freeman and the team.

Same tier of bowl Florida played in. What's your point? This is the dumbest argument that has occurred for 2 decades on this board. I can't analyze Alabama losing to Vandy and getting their *** kicked by Oklahoma because my team is 7-5 and not 9-3?

A 6-6 Oklahoma team that could barely throw the ball curb stomped Alabama.

You're better than this. Indiana had a hell of a season in his first year.So I Googled Cignetti like he said to do and all I found was this big “L”.
Go beat UGA

Maybe things shake out differently post bowl season, but as of now they beat 0 ranked teams.

Okay? Has nothing to do with what I said. They did beat Nebraska when they were ranked though. I'm done arguing about Indiana though and the bitter SEC honks that think it should be a 12 team SEC playoff.You're better than this.

Fair, though to be fair, he’s continued the chest pounding throughout. Saban even told him to put a lid on it pregame.You're better than this. Indiana had a hell of a season in his first year.So I Googled Cignetti like he said to do and all I found was this big “L”.

Glad to be moving on and hopefully our guys heal up for a tough contest.

He read from the same coaching book. His post game press conference was about blaming his own players ; wasn’t his game plan or coaching but all on his own players.

Between Indiana last night and likely SMU today, the SEC teeth gnashing is worse than what we saw from FSU last year. At least FSU was undefeated, but the arguments are about 3 loss teams.
I think the committee sent a message that SOS & numbers of wins both matter. What those upset seem to desire is to only look at wins (Bama beating Georgia, South Carolina beating Clemson/Texas A&M), ignore who losses were to, and debate which of the teams would win H2H. I’m not sure we outright want the committee guessing about H2H when teams at that rung of consideration showed inconsistency (Bama could beat Georgia, but also could lose to Vandy…which one would they be vs SMU/Indiana?)
What I do like about what they did is punish both sides. The SEC gets the benefit of its history and SOS in seeing Georgia be the highest non-undefeated team and Texas being the highest at-large. If you play a difficult schedule, you still almost made it in with 3 losses as a respect to SOS. If you play a weaker schedule like Indiana or SMU, you better not lose any or more than 1. I think they did that very thing and it was the most equitable thing they could do.

Eh.
The teeth gnashing is because they have never settled the question: are these standings or are they the teams we think are the best teams?
If it's the teams we think are best after using our eyes and metrics and things like NFL talent etc, it's silly that Indiana was there over South Carolina, or Alabama. Wins and Losses inform that but obviously a team can lose to a worse opponent and you still think they're better. (E.g., Vanderbilt).
If it's standings, it's ridiculous to think any of the left out SEC teams should go in over Indiana or SMU. Win the games.
The reason there's consternation is because they want to have it both ways.

SEC fans begging for sympathy won't find much of it. Go play 9 conference games and don't lose to teams like Vandy, OU and Kentucky. Stop scheduling Mercer and Wofford and Sisters of the Poor. Go collect you're pouty friends, sit over there and cry. Don't watch the games if it makes you weepy. Wah. Wah wah wah wah wah.
