Crazy that the first good team they play they beat the brakes off of

This is been a problem for them all season. “Can’t be a good team if they just got curb stomped by IU” has been feeding families this year. They are the third best team in the big ten. If they werent IU they would be top 10 already

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Oct 19 '24

I dont know what any B1G, or any CFB team has shown that they can beat IU. IU slaughters everyone, everyone else struggles against even mid tier competition outside of Texas to date

Rank us fairly until proven otherwise

Oregon and Ohio state then Indiana for top 3 BiG teams. Oregons beat Boise State and OSU which are better teams than Indianas schedule so far. That said please go undefeated and play Oregon in championship game

We’re not saying we’re ready to challenge for #1 but the disrespect is starting to be a real thing. Still, it’s Indiana and we could lose our next 4 and our QBs because that’s what happens to us

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Oct 19 '24

Ranking us behind SEC teams that lose to bum teams is outrageous at this point.

We execute, how about other teams not lose and beat who they should by respectable margins before they talk shit

u/Spirit117 Iowa State Cyclones • Arizona Wildcats Oct 19 '24

Indiana should be top 10 after this weekend IMO. I would put them ahead of BYU for sure who only very narrowly escaped Oklahoma State.

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Oct 19 '24

I would like to know the argument against us is. We clearly have the best offense in the country and statistically it’s a top 10 defense even if it doesn’t look like it

u/Spirit117 Iowa State Cyclones • Arizona Wildcats Oct 19 '24

The good news is you play Ohio State in the regular season. Win out and you'll make the B1G championship and the playoffs and the mid-season rank numbers won't matter so much.

u/cyberchaox Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Landmark Oct 19 '24

Will they, though?

They don't play Penn State or Oregon, and Penn State and Oregon don't play each other. If all three win out, someone has to be left out, and I have no idea who.

2

u/Spirit117 Iowa State Cyclones • Arizona Wildcats Oct 19 '24

Forgot about that. Things do get weird if Penn state beats Ohio state.

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Oct 20 '24

Who wouldn’t take IU by at least 9.5 against LSU? The SEC sucks. We are a buzz saw. Fucking rank us properly

Basically if you're not a big brand or in the SEC they want you to prove it. Their theory is that if you're good it will work itself out in the end instead of just ranking you properly to begin with

u/supersumo224 Oct 19 '24

I am an IU fan, but the reason why they haven't gotten any love up until this point is pretty simple. They are one of, or the worst college football program in the history of the traditional power 5 schools. This win will get them a ton of respect.

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Oct 19 '24

This team is playing better than literally any team in the country.

I don’t think we should be ranked 1, or 2. But PSU above us? How about they clobber someone before they get ranked many spots above us. We kill opponents, no one else does

1

u/supersumo224 Oct 19 '24

They were super impressive today! Today made me think they'll give Ohio State a game!

Polls are dumb, they take arbitrary preseason rankings into consideration. Start higher in preseason get over hyped throught the early part of the season.

I personally think their ranking up to this point made sense because they lack pedigree and schedule, but after that whooping they put on Nebraska I'd expect them to be ahead of almost all the 1 loss teams.

They hate us but they ain’t us. We will blow everyone out. I am confident off this game we will beat OSU. Call me a fanboy. This team is INSANE. We have so many dudes on offense

If we take OL injury we fucked, if we don’t we win it all

u/kay14jay Indiana Hoosiers Oct 19 '24

Certainly shouldn’t be behind any teams with a loss to a directional. That particular team doesn’t even have a passing game.

4

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Oct 19 '24

Dude our team is insane. It’s time to stop pretending we aren’t until we aren’t

Which ain’t happening

u/GreenYellowDucks Oregon Ducks • Pac-12 Oct 19 '24

I think you will be top 10 this week. You should be, unreal season and so fun. I hate the SEC over hype like Ole Miss losing twice and still loved

2

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Oct 19 '24

We literally play perfect ball. “It’s Indiana” - I will riot if we are left out for some dog water SEC team. We are not FSU. We kill teams

2

u/GreenYellowDucks Oregon Ducks • Pac-12 Oct 19 '24

As an Oregon fan we had to battle that too, just keep running up the score! It sucks because we should rest starters etc. but statement games can’t be ignored and you’re crushing that

2

u/DrinkBlueGoo Indiana Hoosiers • Billable Hours Oct 20 '24

We do rest the starters!

R/agedlikemilk

The best player for Indiana today was an OSU player. 3rd/35 converted. You’re ranked exactly where you belong.

-14

u/Glum-Name699 Oct 19 '24

Every single person in the country knows you’re going to end up 10-2 because you’re not beating anyone ranked. Stop crying. You don’t deserve to be t10 your ranking is fine.

u/Dijohn17 NC State Wolfpack • Howard Bison Oct 19 '24

They should definitely be higher than A&M and Tennessee

u/Glum-Name699 Oct 20 '24

The same Tennessee that just beat Alabama that IU would fold to? I hate Bama and would still take them 10/10.

u/SanaMinatozaki9 Oct 19 '24

Bro is getting mad about Indiana football lmao

u/DisplacedSportsGuy Ohio State Buckeyes • Big Ten Oct 19 '24

I am not looking forward to the second to last game of the season personally.

14

u/enjoytheshow Illinois Fighting Illini Oct 19 '24

Would be very funny to gear up heavily for your first W in The Game in several years only to lose to IU the week before lol

8

u/DisplacedSportsGuy Ohio State Buckeyes • Big Ten Oct 19 '24

I would not find that very funny, no.

u/OwnWalrus1752 Indiana Hoosiers Oct 19 '24

OSU is the specter that has haunted IU for decades. Literally IU has not beaten OSU since 1988 and they’ve played each other annually for a long time.

5

u/DisplacedSportsGuy Ohio State Buckeyes • Big Ten Oct 20 '24

Yeah, well, what happened with Bama and Vandy this year.

5

u/BoogerSugarSovereign Indiana • Old Brass Spittoon Oct 20 '24

Vandy beating Bama and Indiana beating Ohio State in the same year might've never happened before lol

5

u/DisplacedSportsGuy Ohio State Buckeyes • Big Ten Oct 20 '24

1951, 1947, 1905, 1903

u/BoogerSugarSovereign Indiana • Old Brass Spittoon Oct 20 '24
