Wisconsin: Losses to 9-0 UCLA, 8-1 Notre Dame, and 7-2 Iowa Best Win: 7-2 USC LSU: Losses to 7-2 Alabama and Kentucky, and 6-3 Ole Miss Best Win: 5-4 Auburn
If the committee has 6-3 LSU ranked instead of 6-3 Wisconsin then that’ll tell you all that you need to know about how the rest of it will go

Two 6-3 SEC teams LSU and Missouri are ranked and neither have beaten a ranked team. Two 6-3 B10 teams Wisconsin and Illinois are both unranked, yet they each have a top 20 win.

Indiana gets crucified for their non conference schedule, but North Texas would be favored by 8.5 against Georgia Tech (Georgia’s toughest non con opponent) according to ESPN’s own model.
Indiana doesn't need to worry about dropping five spots to No. 9. The Hoosiers have their non-conference schedule to boost their resume

BREAKING: The #Jaguars are trading a 2nd- and 5th-round pick to the #Falcons for All-Pro S Jessie Bates, per @AdamSchefter. Jacksonville wanted to be bold on the trade market, and they just landed Bates in a mega deal.

Is there anything more on brand than a Purdue fan melting down with an “Indiana Sucks” sticker on their helmet as they lose to Valparaiso?

Since the launch of the 12-team @CFBPlayoff model in 2024, only one team has been projected in the 12-team field in every preseason and final ranking. That team? @IndianaFootball

Indiana 2025 vs 2026 Receiving Through 8 games #iufb There's Becker and Marsh, and then a large gap in YoY production. Cignetti said in Monday's presser he's still waiting for a 3rd WR to step forward Charlie Becker hadn't even come on the scene at this point last season, he had almost as many special teams tackles as he had receptions It's not just WR3 and WR4, TE and RB receiving production is down significantly. Turbo Richard is an excellent receiver out of the backfield too The problem is if you can take away Indiana's run game, there's only 2 threats. I'm still believing Cignetti and Shanahan get this unit rolling at the right time particularly after the bye week
