Mild Talking Head Irritation

[Orngblud05]

The narrative these guys are pushing is asinine.  Maybe not all of them, but many, including Klatt who I think is great, continue this narrative about Indiana. “It’s all about brand”.  “If Alabama had the same resume as Indiana we wouldn’t be talking about them”.

”what about Texas?  They are the same”. 
 

uh, no they aren’t. And it’s not even close. Just comparing Texas to Indiana -

texas SOS is 35 and stands to go up these next two games. 
Indiana is 106. 
 

record of opponents played is roughly 53-47 to 39-63. (Just quickly did in my head could be off by a couple).  
 

I don’t know if Ohio st blasts IU this Saturday or not, but if they do, no chance Indiana has the resume to stay in and it’s not even a debate, IMO.  Now if they are competitive (inside the number), I’ll stand down. But as of today, the arguments against them are 100% valid.

I hear ya... But still gotta give props to Curt Cignetti - what he has done has been awfully impressive. He's won more games in his first year than they had in the last 3 years combined. That's impressive regardless of the school. But to do that at a place that's only won 3 bowl games in it's history!?

That said, there's a reason Ohio State is 13.5pt favorites against an undefeated, top-5 team... Vegas don't lie!

No doubt. Undefeated is undefeated!
