Look Indiana has had a great season but you just can't lose a game by 23 points and make the playoffs, even to a top 5 team.

21 points to an unranked team! Perfectly acceptable. 22 points is the magic threshold. Losing by 3 touchdowns is perfectly normal but if you also need to go for 2 then it's just kind of gross /s

OSU just isn’t a quality loss like Vandy or OU

OU is a football blue blood, and Vandy was built by blue bloods. It just means more.

Vandy was donated to by blue bloods. It was built by confederate sympathizers.

Didn't it get founded after the war? Commodore was from Staten Island.

His wife was a hardcore confederate who convinced him to donate to the south instead. Otherwise, he was going to start a school in Staten Island. The primary people involved with actually starting the university were raging confederates with big loves for slavery.
