So to recap…

IU loses at #2 Ohio State.

Bama, Ole Miss, Texas AM and Colorado all lose to .500’sh teams.

Unbelievable 

[JerryYeagley23 3,721]

Pretty much as good as we could have hoped for in the chaos category. Three SEC teams eliminated. 

[Demo 20,376]

Not 1, not 2 but 3 2-loss SEC teams all losing as favorites. 

KICK @$$

This game going 4OT reminded me that we're only a year removed from needing 4 overtimes to beat Akron.

This has 100% been a net positive day for IU’s college football playoff chances.

Can’t believe A&M ran that kind of motion on the last play

Honestly an incredible design. That kid just absolutely blew it.

There is one undefeated team left. IU has the best “quality loss” … and only 1. Virtual playoff lock. Hang 70 on Purdue and punch our ticket.

On a side note I watched a lot of SEC football today and saw a lot of dumb mistakes and sh!ite play.

The SEC is overrated. They have quite a few good teams but no one elite this season. Not like in years past.

Tennessee beat a very strong 2-9 UTEP team today so they will probably move up 7 or so spots.

Michigan is on the level of Oklahoma and Auburn….both of which just beat SEC contenders.  Yet IU was given no credit for that win.

Anyway, three mocks that I have seen after week 13:  two had IU at 11 (behind both SMU and Tennessee and ahead of the Big 12 champ) and the other had IU at 9 ahead of both SMU and Tennessee.  My prediction is IU will be at #10 Tuesday, behind Tennessee but ahead of SMU.  
 

Future prediction:  next week, South Carolina beats Clemson and Syracuse beats Miami.  This puts Clemson and SMU in the ACC title game where Clemson destroys SMU,  Clemson then is in as the 12, Big 12 champ is the 11.  No at large teams for either league.  Texas bests A&M and other SEC teams with two or three losses win.  10 spot comes down to Alabama, South Carolina and Ole Miss — and on the strength of their win against Clemson, South Carolina moves up to 10.  IU ends at 9 and plays 8 seed Tennessee.

Not necessarily eliminated BUT moved to a position where if IU beats Purdue that IU will remain ahead of them.

[Stuhoo 81,571]

All those SEC fanbases watching Purdue at IU next Saturday night and hoping, hoping….

That is so excellent.

[Stuhoo 81,571]

Not only is our only loss on the road to Ohio State, but Nebraska, Washington, and Michigan are now all above .500 and bowl eligible. Hell; Michigan might be able to hang with Ohio State.

Beat Purdue via comfortable margin and we are in. If we can’t accomplish that then I fully understand why we won’t be in.
