Rankings are a funny game. This ends up being IU playing a close game against an unranked team and we'll probably drop. Had we lost, Nebraska would've been ranked above us and deservedly so.

Nah knowing the pollers we still would have been 3-5 spots lower

I don't think IU will drop. Nebraska is a tough opponent at home. IU had less on possession, time, plays, and yards than Nebraska did and they still found a way to win. I think we will probably stay right where we are at. CFB wants a top 10 match next week and will hype it up all week.

Most folks know Nebraska should've been ranked, & they certainly would have if they were in a certain southern conference.

No sir, had we lost we’d be #24 and Nebraska would be #23 or something. It was always a Catch 22 game for both teams. Narratives > Eyeballs.

Gotta love the way everyone commits to the bit though.
