(aka ESECPN) from someone who doesn’t have a horse in this particular race. The race being the talking point that the Hoosiers wouldn’t deserve a chance at the 12 team playoff with its only loss being to OSU. The common belief is that the SEC would have a better chance at sending another two loss team in the playoff instead.
I understand that they’ve played a severely weak schedule, but I still would think that only having one loss and being in what is perceived to be one of the top two power conferences would merit a team like Indiana a seat at the table. Let’s assume IU goes 11-1 but would obviously be left out of the B1GCC, I would consider that a very solid season and shouldn’t be disrupted because the precious SEC couldn’t get a possible 4th or 5th team in. What say you?
