Considering that Zach Horton may be one of the ten best football players in the B1G at ANY position, that is laughably bad.

Warren over Horton? Sure. Basically a lock. Loveland? LOL, based on what he'll do at the combine or what he did with JJ I guess? Whatever.

BUT WHO THE F**K ARE TERRANCE FERGUSON AND MAX KLARE?

[Stuhoo]

Combined first, second, and third team: 

• Oregon 8
• OSU 8
• Iowa 6 (3 on 1st team)
• PSU 3
• IU 3
• USC 3
• UM 3

If we only we had a successful season like Iow.... I just can't.

Congrats to 1st teamers
Mikail Kamara
Aiden Fisher
D'Angelo Ponds

True So. Ponds.....hopefully he sticks around for 2 more because of his size but I think an NFL team will draft him high after next year

What am I missing? IU had 6 total by what I'm counting

It's offense only.

I would add that some are being counted double by Stuhoo. McLaughlin from OSU, for example, is on both the 1st team (coaches) and 2nd team (media) which he is counting as 2.

Apologies!! U guys are spot on and I was ready to be offended unnecessarily.

That wasn't my point. I agree that IU was under-represented on the offensive side. My point was that it wasn't as bad as it at first looks.

IU has an average of 2.5 players on the teams which seems low for one of the best offenses in the league. I guess that's a testament of how good the coaching staff is since they're doing more with less.

Radicic missed 1 kick all season. Granted, he only had 10 FG attempts. Still, should have gotten some recognition

SIAP… This guy is awesome. Always wins the press conference/interview.

The Big Ten would have provided a double-sided coin.

If Penn State lost a coin toss, that would have been the worst thing to ever happen in the history of Penn State football.

 

 

Too soon?

We’re a house divided (Indiana / Penn State), so I sent this screenshot along with the image below to my brother

Ouch!

Matt Hayes = Paul Finebaum's illegitimate son? 

or maybe Lane Kiffin's long-lost cousin? 

Funny how he mentions Ole Miss' "three one-possession" losses, then casually mentions our 23-point loss at O$U. But he certainly can't take a deeper dive into that loss, can he? Doesn't want to point out that three scores came: after a punter dropped a snap late in the first half; on a punt return with at least three illegal blocks and a score in the final minutes when O$U had lined up in victory formation.

I hate these people so much. Why did they all decide to make IU the target of their angst? Our schedule had the two teams that played in the national championship game last year on it. It’s not our fault they both dropped off. 

“We’re not really doing this, are we? We're not really rewarding a team for simply winning games against overmatched competition” ok, but why should we reward SEC teams for losing games against overmatched competition? Alabama lost to two 6-6 teams. Ole Miss lost to a 7-5 team and an 8-4 team. Ole Miss beat its 2-10 rival by 12 points last weekend. We beat our 1-11 rival by 66 points last weekend. We have more wins by 14+ points than Ole Miss or Alabama have total. 

The SEC slobberers are embarrassing themselves.

They think all the at large bids should go to SEC teams. All the other conferences, including the B1G, aren't good in their opinion.

Borrowing some Logic from moneyball. These guys are trying to rage against Indiana because we represent a change to the status quo that they have built their livelihood around. Al their connections are for the traditional powers.  
 

before you couldn’t just get into the game of paying players. Had to know the people and had to finesse it. Not everybody could or would do that in the shadows.  NIL now makes it to where any school that wants to compete can make a decent shot at it. 
 

That scares these guys who supposedly were experts at the sport but only really knew Jack about 12 teams.  Their lack of actual knowledge is getting exposed and they fear new players who are competent will start to get all the clicks.

Going back through 247's rankings for our transfer guys last year is LAUGHABLE.

 

Sarratt was the 33rd ranked WR

Jailin Walker 44th ranked LB

Fisher 65th ranked LB

CJ West 31st ranked DT

Carpenter 36th ranked DT

Tucker 95th ranked DT

Kamara 100th ranked DT

Ponds 84th ranked corner 

Asburdy 38th ranked S

Terry Jones 80th ranked S

Wedig 48th ranked OT

Rourke 22nd ranked QB

Ranking transfers is such a daunting task that it probably isn't worth doing. But this one was not that hard lol.

Ponds and Fisher were a joke, too. 

But, daunting task or not.... it's 247s job, and they choose to put rankings out there. They don't technically have to do that. Ultimately, I mostly just think recruiting analysts are poor at their jobs. This is pretty hefty evidence.
