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.

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

You can’t pay for this level of fawning. It’s like the school produced it.

I'm surprised the entire state of Ohio didn't vote for Ryan Day just to get him the hell outta there.

Yea I was in Alabama two weeks ago and had 4-5 conversations about Cig and the football team when folks found out I was from Indiana. Our coach is a household name.

The idea that the hottest rock star HC in the country is a slightly cranky 63yo 1st time power conference guy at the losingest program in history takes the term “counterintuitive” to whole new heights. Beyond awesome.

This is quite possibly the greatest post in the 30 years I have been on message boards.

Was listening to a Joel Klatt interview earlier today. He said that he is constantly getting texted from coaches around the country, and they're all talking about Cig. 

[JSHoosier]

I was on a Teams meeting during work and the boss asked if anyone had anything worth talking about, a guy from Louisville said Indiana's football coach is worth talking about.

As opposed to…? This is either a horribly worded/clickbait headline or the back channeling is in full force.

Raby has hinted for the past couple of weeks that talks had already begun.

Just with IU or other schools?
