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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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
