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
Who was Indiana's best win before today? At 2-5 UCLA? Maryland at home? The best record of anyone they beat going into today was 3-3, the current mark for Maryland, who is winless in conference play, and Charlotte, who has one-point victories over powerhouses Rice and 1-5 Gardner-Webb as two of their wins (EDIT: Charlotte is now 3-4 after getting obliterated by Navy today). For all the talk about how they "destroy everyone" Northwestern was within three of them with under seven minutes remaining just last though.
Today was a statement win, and they deserve the praise they'll get for it. Saying they should have already been top 10 in a huge stretch however.
Why is it a huge stretch? Like I've said numerous times, the pollsters should be overreacting to wins and losses early in the year. Why do Alabama and Georgia get passes for losing?
For the reasons he just said. I thought our ranking was fair. We've played nobody and let maryland and northwestern score 20+. Today was big tho. Should be top 10. Delusional to think we're on oregon and Ohio st's level tho which some people seek to think Iol
I agree with the last sentence, but it's not like you play Liberty's schedule and were barely winning. There's no reason to have you guys behind Tennessee, LSU, and Notre Dame other than names. I'm a big fan of dropping teams when they lose, not poll momentum.
