I’d argue Sampson was the worst given what he did to the program or maybe we should just exclude him from the rankings. From there it’s hard to be as bad as Archie. But what’s even more amazing is in that time we’ve had almost zero success and only 4 coaches, 5 if we’re counting Sampson. That is an absurdly low amount of turnover for such dismal results. From the outside in, you have to wonder if the IU admin cares about basketball at all.

I wouldn’t take anything the committee says at face value. They’ve never once elucidated a coherent criteria that didn’t change from year to year to get the teams and matchups they want. Hopefully IU is ranked 9th or 10th and that gives them the opportunity to have teams like SMU or Georgia possibly fall below them. A home playoff game would be cool.

I don’t think there are any real threats left to IU getting a bid. If the SEC gets 4 teams in it won’t be at the expense of a 4th big ten bid imo

They’ve almost always valued big wins over than bad losses. IU can only rise so high with our resume. But other teams have made it nice for us by making a mess with a bunch of losses. The way the bucket game is going I think we’re more likely than not to get a first round home game.

Cook these guys! Way to come make a statement.

I think it’s possible depending on where they rank us this coming week and what the matchups would look like.

Love with one of the best hurdles you’ll see in the ND game.

Win by 1 and we’re in. Only way out is with a loss.

Games have to be played yet. Some teams have to lose just based on matchups. Any non Texas team in the sec that loses will drop past us potentially and maybe Texas. An ACC team will. Now PSU likely will. ND could. We only need 2-3 to drop past us to get a home playoff game

If USC can’t stop the run they have no shot, imo. NDs run game is one of the best in the country. If they didn’t split carries love would have Jeanty numbers. With that said, USC does not lack for talent. Kind of like Michigan.

Think of all the people we likely jump at this point. If ND loses, it would be one more. I seriously think there is little upside to Penn State losing unless you really want a chance at a Big Ten title. I’d rather have a home playoff game almost guaranteed!

I could be wrong but they showed two Michigan players on the sideline that had a bunch of tears and snot running down their face they were trying to wipe away. That was what it looked like to me. They could’ve just been bawling their eyes out cause their Michigan men… or something.

Michigan went to plant their flag at midfield and Ohio state flipped out. Then it was broke up and one of the Michigan players was parading the flag around the Ohio State players and they tackled him/the flag pole

Lol…the ohio police pepper sprayed the Michigan players by the look of it. Couldn’t happen to two more deserving programs.

Shut the Ohio state program down for the year

Wow …brawl in cbus!!!

I know IUs interest lays in osu win, but I want to see Day cry

They have time but are against the wind, i think, for a fg

What is up with the clock in Columbus?

Time out penalty helps Michigan because it looks like they were running the same crappy play they always do

If Oregon steps on them probably. Otherwise it might just come down to Matchups and logistics.

Watch Michigan get a fg and then go into prevent defense giving up a score. we call this a Georgia Tech…

Two loss Indiana is most likely out when the two losses are against the only two good teams they played. Just reinforces the narrative against us. But think about it logically…we’re all sweating out a one loss Indiana getting in. Very unlikely a two loss one does. Of course with the way some other teams are shouting themselves in the foot you never know. Btw, root for Texas. A&M SEC championship increases the likelihood of more sec teams and would make a two loss ND more likely over Indiana.

This game is so rarely played with any implications outside of pride it’s hard to have much history as a spoiler, but usually it seems the best team wins in the bucket game. That’s us!

Michigan and Maryland winning would effectively knock Indiana out of the playoffs, imo. Go Ohio State (puke)
