Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

I was somewhat surprised that Indiana is now rated in the top ten.  Usually, a team has to beat a highly ranked team to get up there.  Indiana has not.
 
Maybe the best opponent yet is Washington which does have a winning record.  Barely.  5 - 4, 3 - 3.  And Nebraska also has a winning record but is on life support.  5 - 4, 2 - 4.
 
Wow.   Has Michigan fallen off the pace, or what?!  No surprise, but ouch.
 
Indiana hosts Michigan, then runs into reality at OSU and then hosts Purdon't.
 
I am very pro Indiana.  But please be somewhat conservative in assessing IU's performance against a not really too tough schedule.    
 
Cignetti is superb.  But the big boys are too.  Heady stuff.

I get what you're saying but IU has absolutely destroyed all those teams. That is what a good team does.

Tennessee- looked like poop all year

PSU- when comparing our results vs. theirs... there really isn't a comparison. ours have been significantly better

 

Through 9 weeks.... it's pretty clear we should be ranked T10, and actually more like 6th, at the lowest. If you are a great team.... you don't get beat @Ark, if you are a great team you don't only beat Bowling Green by 7 at home. 

 

Tennessee and PSU have handled NO ONE. 

"please be somewhat conservative in assessing IU's performance" No. We have lost 1 quarter all year. 1. Call it what it is... Indiana is a T10 team. They've shown that for 9 weeks.

Agree….although I do think Tennessee has a great defense.  I feel like I’ve been pretty conservative and unbiased, as IU has won by a bigger margin than I’ve predicted in 7 of the 9 games.  And that’s with me thinking IU is about #5 right now.

Tennessee's DL is disgustingly good. Literally winning games for them right now. 

Wanna know what neutralizes a great DL? ....a tremendous RPO game
