So are we taking Indiana seriously now? That certainly wasnt the case for yall last season when I had to hear about how they "stole the playoff spot" of the theoretical national champion constantly

35

u/trex1490 Georgia Bulldogs • Marching Band Oct 14 '25

I mean they’re clearly a better team this year. They deserved to be in the playoff last year but they got handled fairly soundly by the two national-title caliber teams they played. We had years in the 4 team CFP where not every team was capable of winning it all, much less all 12.

This years team just went into Autzen and lowkey out physicalled Oregon, this Indiana team definitely could win it all.

Yea but they are historically one of the worst programs in college football. Until last year the gameday motto was "Well we might suck at football but we've never lost a tailgate"

u/LastDiveBar510 LSU Tigers • California Golden Bears Oct 15 '25

Historically Indiana is THE worst team of all time. All time record of 521-715-44 3 more losses than 2nd place northwestern. The B1g actually has all of the top 3 teams in losses all time Rutgers is right behind NW with 701 losses but has 100 more wins than NW.

Kansas, Iowa state, Kansas state vandy are the other p4 teams in the top 10

2

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 Wisconsin Badgers Oct 15 '25

That seems a bit unfair to Rutgers considering many of their losses are prob getting shit on by Ivy league teams in the late 1800s and early 1900s lol

u/Automatic_Release_92 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Oct 14 '25

I know, people are being so insanely ridiculous. I want to take away absolutely nothing from what Indiana has accomplished. They have had a great season and deserve their ranking right now.

But Oregon should have been on high fraud alert after that UCLA game. I would love to eat crow after Indiana wins a couple of playoff games. But I really, really do not see it.

4

u/CheckItWhileIWreckIt Michigan • Rutgers Oct 14 '25

Oregon just comes across as a very good but very sloppy team that plays to its competition level. Last year they looked pretty mid against their early season cupcakes, then beat the eventual national champions, then got blown to smithereens by that same opponent in the playoffs after the time off. I think they're still a natty contender if they manage to play their best through the rest of the seasons and playoffs.

4

u/Automatic_Release_92 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Oct 14 '25

I think Oregon could definitely beat any team out there if they are playing at their best. Absolutely no way they can sustain that through 3-4 games of postseason though.

It’s the most predictable shit in the world really. They just don’t have 15 years of dominance to back it up. The big 10 still has fewer titles than just bama this century let alone Florida, lsu, and Georgia who all have more than one.

18

u/Zealousideal_Loan904 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Oct 14 '25

Anyone who thinks the B1G is on the level with the SEC is either a) a fan of a B1G team, or b) a fan of a team victimized by SEC teams. Sometimes both.

6

u/ThadtheYankee159 Nebraska Cornhuskers Oct 15 '25

B1G is similar to ACC in that you’ve got a few big programs (OSU, Michigan/Clemson, FSU) who have historically held up the conference while the rest is uncompetitive. The last time a traditional B1G team won a Natty (so excluding more recent entrants like Penn State, Nebraska, or the PAC schools) was 1966 with Sparty. Meanwhile the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, and LSU have all won since then, four of them winning multiple.

Most conferences tended to consist of a few elite schools who hoarded most of the conference titles, (OSU/Michigan, OU/Nebraska, Clemson/FSU, while USC and Texas basically ran their conferences without one consistent rival). It’s just that the SEC has had more of those schools in the elite tier than others.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '25

By top you mean just IU? I guess you could technically throw in tOSU since they barely beat Texas on “the biggest flops” first start, that’s really all they have. Sure they have talent and could very well beat anybody in the nation, but so could TxAM using that metric. IU and Miami are the only proven teams in the nation right now IMO. Bama has some serious wins but they have a questionable loss and could easily slide back into garbage play facing real defenses and/or decent running game.

3

u/MozzyTheBear Ohio State Buckeyes Oct 14 '25

I don't actively root for any other B1G teams...although I do believe the conference overall has taken big steps forward in the NIL era, I got tired of dragging this whole ass conference along for the longest time, particularly when it became apparent OSU didn't need a super strong B1G for our own success. 

That said, even though they're a direct threat to OSU, I'm finding myself pulling for Indiana simply because it's such an insane story. One of the worst programs in NCAA football history and this bold and brash guy comes in and turns around the culture overnight, coinciding with a strong surge in NIL and intelligent transfer portal plays. And they look really damn good and dominant when you watch them, honestly as good as anyone I've watched so far this year. If it wasn't for name-brand biases, they'd be getting a lot more respect...as far as I'm concerned they should be ranked ahead of OSU right now based on what we've seen so far this season. I'm not even necessarily saying I'm confident they would beat OSU on a neutral field, but just based on results so far, they ought to be.

Inflated rankings don't make them true.

Texas was number 1, Penn State was number 2.

If you argue or disagree with those rankings then you have to agree with me because the context is applicable.

"Well they didn't deserve it anyway." Of course not, now that we know what we know of them. Which is what the rest of the country has been saying about the entirety of the SEC for 2 decades.

If you don't agree with Texas being pre-season #1 then you can't agree with the inflated SEC rankings in the current Top 25.

Of course, their SoS will be stronger when they're playing/beating teams that are ranked, that is what inflated rankings mean.

SEC is deeper. But might not be as good at the top. But I love the big ten but let’s be honest it falls off a cliff in a hurry. Ohio State is better than any SEC team. Indiana looks like they’d contend in the sec this year Oregon would compete too. After that who from the big ten would finish top 8 in the SEC. I think people are mistaking the SEC not being dominant at the top with them being bad. The ceiling may not be as high as previous years but the floor is incredibly high. Only garbage team is Kentucky. Even Arkansas is frisky and has a dynamic offense.

They need the “SEC cheated for 20 years and now there is a systematic power shift that’s leveled the playing field” narrative.

It allows them to conveniently hand wave away 2 decades of mediocrity under the SEC’s boot. They don’t have to acknowledge the mountain of historical evidence that the SEC is and has been, in fact, a superior football conference.

I don’t think they realize that saying “we were too stupid to figure out how to cheat like those other 14 teams” is not a flex.

People need to stop using “Indy” and use IU. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

They wouldn't survive SCAR's or UF's schedule without multiple losses.

Indiana about to not play any ranked teams the rest of its season lmfao 🤣

The NIL era has completely changed College football and SEC fans will be the last ones to find out.

u/RonMexico13 Florida Gators Oct 14 '25

Its not like Indiana is using massive NIL investment to load up the roster and out-talent other teams. They're winning through the power of Cig's pure burning hatred and I for one think that's beautiful.

u/Reasonable-Bit560 Indiana Hoosiers Oct 14 '25

Just wait till the big time recruits start to come.

We got plenty of money

u/Lefaid Team Chaos • Indiana Hoosiers Oct 14 '25

The difference now is that recruits won't be putting us in the same tier as Ball State. The floodgates are finally open.

I don’t think you understand how deep Indiana’s pockets are and what they’re paying their current players

9

u/RonMexico13 Florida Gators Oct 14 '25

They have deep pockets but they haven't even begun to dump money into NIL compared to their peers.

Indiana's 247 talent composite this year is #72 in the country.

The fighting Phil Knights of Oregon they just beat are #5.

I’d gladly trade schedules with Ohio State or Indian

u/DaAuraWolf Tennessee Volunteers Oct 14 '25

If you think you can win the SEC, then add one of them to pad out that non-conference schedule lineup with at least one Power 4 team/Notre Dame every year (the 2026 SEC standard) since the next time that will happen isn’t until a home/home series with Notre Dame in 2030 & 2031.

3

u/thankyoukirby Oct 14 '25

If you changed the “would” to a “could,” I’d agree. They looked very impressive against a very good Oregon team. But no telling how they’d actually do against a schedule full of UGA, Texas, Bama, TAMU, LSU, TN, Ole Miss, etc. or how the physicality of those matchups would impact injuries on their roster and test their depth.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '25

Hot take, the SEC isn’t actually deep and the voters just glaze them.

I went to a red river watch party, not once did broadcast bring up IU vs Oregon. They never showed a highlight or mentioned the score. Wtf was that

As a Tennessee fan and NOT an SEC fan, I think it's sad but hilarious how simple posts like this can bring out the worst of the infamous, lurking, SEC glazers. God, sometimes I HATE being in this conference...

Indiana might be the best team in the country this year. They look tough. Could never make it out alive in the bloodbath of the sec

u/badkiwi42 Michigan State Spartans Oct 14 '25

Indiana winning a natty would be one of the most insane turnarounds in CFB history. It was already crazy turning a team that hasn’t won a bowl game since 91 to the damn CFP. They have smooth sailing path to an undefeated season as long as penn state stays as bad as they are currently

I’m not gonna say I agree with you. However, 3/4 of the SEC would not survive a game against current Indiana, and with the other 1/4 it would be a fight to the end.

Indiana is solid.
