Gah, two years in a row they jam us with one of the nine B1G games that get put on the 'cock! 

I expect no more Peacock for the next two years!

You'll watch the 'cock and you'll like it.

Looking forward to the cat and mouse (with regard to last second substitutions by Coach Baby Beluga); he used that strategy continuously against Duke.  At one point the official didn't move away from the center until there was only 4 seconds remaining.  That rule needs to be revisited. Something tells me Cig will have a plan for it.

The first game all year I have not watched.

[Hovadipo]

We love efficient blowouts. And, for the record, SP+ is opponent-adjusted.

It’s bad/challenging enough that the Big Ten “student”-athletes have to travel coast to coast but I wish the BT had the gonads to have a little control over the tv times.

MSU is traveling to the west coast and has an 8:00 pm kickoff which is 11:00 pm their time. West coast teams have traveled east and had noon kickoffs which is an equally BS kickoff of 9:00 am their time.

Yo. Big Ten. It’s not that hard.  When a team from the east travels west the kickoff’s should be between noon and 5:00 (3-8:00 EST). When west coast teams travel east the kickoffs should be between 3:00 and 8:00 (12:00-5:00 PST). 
 

It’s not that difficult. Michigan State, as an example, should not be playing this weeks game until 2:00 am EST.

I can't understand this complaint. 

They're some of the most pampered people in the country... just play the football game when you're told to. 

The game times make the most sense for the TV stations to make the most money.

They do play the games when they are told to.

I have traveled the three time zones a gazillion times and it does have some impact. Why give a home team an additional advantage?

And yes, I understand that in reality the only three things that matter are money, money and money.

‘Nando currently has the 2nd best Heisman odds via DraftKings, behind John Mateer.

I’ll take it. They kept Illinois ranked which hopefully AP does too. 
Illini host a ranked USC team next week and we’re all pulling for the fighting Bielema’s from here on out

Yea, that’s a big one.  Not only helps our win but USC is in the mix for that 4th B1G playoff spot (assuming the top-3 are who we think).  We have a long way to go before seriously thinking about a playoff spot, but just sayin’ it could help.

[Hoosierfan2017]

Annoying that we’re not top 10 after beating a team they ranked #9 by 53 points, but whatever. Indiana vs. everybody.

Nice to see the Adidas social admin take time out of their busy schedule to throw some text on top of a picture in the Apple photo editor. 

[LIHoosier]

IU 11th in the AP, the wifi must've been down in Bristol

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Pleasantly surprised we’re at 11, well deserved. 
 
Illinois checks in at #23 and USC #21

[BtownStrength]

I was thinking / hoping for 10th but didn’t have much faith. 11 still is a good spot. On to the voodoo magic at Kinnick.

It’s just too many highly ranked teams that did nothing to deserve a demotion. That’s a massive jump.

If the first rankings of the year were after week 4, we’d be around fifth.

Pretty wild we arent top 7 or 8, at minimum.

That's not how rankings should work, especially week 4. And thats the real issue.
