You saw Norlanders article on CBS sports which he ranked the power 5 teams plus some others in his own ranking system. In that IU was near the bottom. People will have to wait and see how the teams IU are playing do to actually see what their real non conference SOS will actually be. Last year IU non conference sos was 167 and Sos was 58. Playing in the B1G will always results in a respectable Sos. My guess is their non conference sos will be about the same as last year. As far as committee selection they could absolutely change what they feel is more important but usually the committee is consistent through the committee chairs term. With the NET being implemented last year in my opinion they will be consistent with how they used it in the next couple years since it’s their new shiny toy they came up with. Could IU’s non conference be stronger? Probably but the way their overall schedule sets up starting in December IU only plays power 5 teams (I will include UConn in that)

The team rankings site has our Non-Con as 260th which is horrible but not quite last among power 5, Texas A&M was the lowest at 281

Count me as one of the obvious ones, want #6 sooner than later

Just my opinion, but the prototypical starting lineup is going to have Brunk, TJD and Smith in it. I also think green is a lock, so one of Rob and Al will “come off the bench” but will get starter minutes. Then Archie will go with a bigger or smaller lineup late in the game based on what worked. Not important to get hung up on the technical “Starters” when probably 7 or 8 guys will all have around the same minutes

This isn’t at Stu or BGleas at all. This is more at the initial response that started this from FK. Can we all disagree and discuss things without being a complete asshat? Like this whole if you disagree with me you are stupid thing that started during the football season is annoying as hell. It has made it where people no longer know how to respond to someone they disagree with without being a complete dick from the start.

Al strikes me as a "team first" guy that would respond better to coming off the bench than some others. That, along with his versatility to play 1-3, makes me think he could be 6th man. Whatever else happens, I really hope last night was the coming out party for he and Smith. Having legit scoring options from those two makes IU so much tougher. 
Franklin was impressive too. 8 assists to 0 TO's is solid against any sentient opposition. The fact he's not even a Point Guard is terrific. 

Completely agree and that was my overall point on my initial post I got blasted on. Because according to FK our most centered resident that was stupid because Al is our best player.... But it’s FK. So yeah lol... My thing is depth. I am not getting hung up on who is considered a starter. I expect minutes to go to Green and Al 1 and 2. I don’t expect both to start.
