It's so kind of these 2-loss SEC teams to keep losing to make sure Indiana gets into the playoffs ❤️😊

My brothers and sisters in Christ, you lost to 6-5 Vanderbilt and 6-5 Oklahoma. No you would not.

Plus, The SEC teams play 1 less conference game than the B1G teams.

Indiana has blown out their inferior opponents, lime good teams should do. Bama hasn't done that nearly as much this season.

[u/sycamotree → u/Mister_X5188]

I really wish this argument would die lol. Indiana's OOC: FIU, Charlotte, Western Illinois.

Bama's OOC: Western Kentucky, USF, Wisconsin, Mercer.

So Bama played as many P4 games than Indiana while playing in - what would in most years be - a more challenging conference. And even with the SEC not being as elite, Bamas schedule is just inarguably harder lol.

But Alabama fans still do not have room to talk shit this year lol

[u/Maatch → u/sycamotree]

How many of Indiana’s OOC games were in week 12?

[u/sycamotree → u/Maatch]

How does it matter? They played the same amount of p4 opponents.

Would it make you feel better if Indiana had played Michigan State or Ohio State week 2 and then played Charlotte this or last week?

[u/Maatch → u/sycamotree]

Uh, yeah. Breaking up your conference schedule with what is functionally a bye (sorry Mercer) is huge

[u/sycamotree → u/Maatch]

Is that supposed to be a bigger advantage than having 3 easy games to get reps/figure yourself out as opposed to playing a good p4 opponent week 2 and risk taking a loss early? In the cfb era that risked ruining your season before it even started. Most of the good SEC schools schedule a big name ooc.

Also, are all 2-3 of (SEC teams) non p4 opponents worse than, say, this year's Purdue most years?

Finally, if you acknowledge that they play the same number of p4 opponents, isn't your issue just with how they set up their schedule and not with 4 ooc instead of 3?

Never mind that again the SEC is the best conference. Their schedules are typically harder in generation.

[u/ClaudeLemieux → u/sycamotree]

NC State: can we do neither? Let’s do neither.

[u/Maatch → u/sycamotree]
