Joel Klatt has us #7

This ^^ got me curious. I've never cared about way-too-early rankings for college football. But I sure do now :-)

ESPN - #10

Klatt - #7

Sporting News - #16

CBS - #13

Bleacher Report - #10

247 - #16

Stadium - N/R (technically #30) this is the wackiest of top 25 rankings I've looked up so far for what it's worth

It also looks like we landed at #12 in the final AP poll. All in all, incredible. Yet a convincing win in the bowl game and we probably end up #6.

I thought dropping 5 spots was a bit extreame for a 6 point loss to Ole Miss. i expected to drop to 10th. Not being able to claim a top 10 finish will hopefully provide our guys with all the locker room material they need this off-season to come back even better next year.

Right. I hope we approach this offseason the same way OSU approached theirs last year. Post the bowl score all over the place. I hope this is a time where the staff allow the earmuffs and blinders to be taken off for a while to add as much fuel to the fire as possible. Now, if we've gotten to this point...close loss to OSU where we shot ourselves in the foot too much, disrespect from the CFP committee, pushed aside for OSU to play in the title game, not getting to curb stomp PU, getting passed up for a NY6 bowl, getting pushed down the bowl pecking order, and flopping like that in the bowl game. If anyone on the team still needs to find some bulletin board material, they need to be sent instructions on how to enter the transfer portal.

His reputation as a recruiter exceeds his reputation as a developer of skills.

I’m not sure how much development of talent DC’s do. I’m more interested in his game management/preparation skills along with recruiting. The development comes from the position coaches

Could be huge for recruiting... awesome hire.

Seems to be a really good hire who will help in recruiting. With Coach Allen being defensive minded and proven in that area, I like this hire!

Kind of a nice little story about Peyton Ramsey. He talks about his time in Bloomington, his relationship with his former teammates and the chance (very remote) that NW could've played us in the B1G title game. Says he was disappointed that Penix got the gig over him in 2019, but understood the decision. And since he was able to graduate and transfer without sitting out the 2020 season, he figured it was time to move on ...

15-0 at first glance.

Allen makes a splash hire once again - Kansas City Chiefs RB Coach Deland McCullough will return to Indiana and replace the vacancy left by Mike Hart’s departure. McCullough was the RB Coach for the Hoosiers from 2011-2016, coaching both Jordan Howard and Tevin Coleman to the NFL.

That's an upgrade over what we had.

I'm not sure my mind can accept all of the positive IU athletics news over the past 2 days....

But this is huge!

It’s far from official so be patient. The potential icing on the cake could be DM’s son Desan. Currently committed to OSU but I’d be less than shocked if he flipped to join his dad. I also see this as a parlay move to OC. With another couple solid seasons Seridan will be moving on, making way for DM to become the new OC. This is potentially a big, big get for the program
