I think this game may be over, but one never knows. If it is a “W” for Indiana I tip my hat to Curt Cignetti for leading this football team to an undefeated season and a B10 Championship.
And, like Oregon last year, none of that matters if you don't win in the playoff
Thankfully for them--they'll get a much more reasonable path--likely avoiding Georgia and Ohio State until the final

3rd & 7 ... Indy with the Ball at the tOSU 40 ...

Indy runs it for # 2 yards.

Indy calls TO, with 0:24 left in the game (after running out the shot clock). They're too far out to kick a FG, so it looks as though they'll punt. tOSU should have a long way to go, with no TOs left (assuming no long return).

tOSU with a FC of the punt at their 13. 0:18 left in the game

Indy is only rushing 3, and has 8 guys defending a pass.

a long pass is nearly picked off.

0:02 left, so this will be the last play for tOSU, from their 15.

It's caught, but the WR is surrounded, and tackled.

Final: 13-10, Indy

Didn’t think IU winning was a possibility.

All things being what they were tonight, I’d make UGA the favorite to win it all. Still believe the hoosiers are paper champions.

Indiana just got a much better path though--Georgia and Ohio State will be on the same side of the bracket
Georgia is who I'm betting on but Indiana and Texas Tech as the two teams with a bye on the top half--yikes

Miami should be in.
If they get in over ND I won't be complaining but I don't think it happens. I think they'll keep BYU and Bama ahead of Miami so they don't have to justify it. 100% hope I'm wrong

This would make it more of a joke than it is…head to head has to matter.

Bad tackling and penalties giving Cavs a shot . First down on Duke 34 , 47 seconds . Duke defense with more holes than grandpa’s underwear . 20 plays 96 yards in just over a minute . 20-20. OT coming

It only matters if they're determined to be comparable
The last time rankings came out they weren't (not saying I agree)
If they drop Bama one spot behind ND and keep BYU were they are they avoid the Miami/ND issue which is my guess as to what they do

Which makes it a joke….all about getting certain names in.

Ohio state play calling has been awful in red zone.
Those two third and short pass plays on back to back drives were big head scratchers to me. If they had run two QB keepers on the earlier series they likely get the first down instead of just the one on fourth down.

I'm not sure why that makes it a joke though
Miami lost to two 8-4 ACC teams--that's not exactly impressive
The ND win is nice but the ACC is so bad that's all they have
Trust me, I want ND to be out but I don't think Miami is deserving either

To let them go 96 yards in 82 seconds is just unacceptable
And then Duke takes a knee for OT

Same record and Miami beat ND, that’s why. If ND was better than Miami, they should have beat them.

It doesn't work that way though--not all 10-2s are equal
Until we get a super conference where playoff bids are predetermined based on criteria this will always happen
Notre Dame, BYU, Miami, Alabama, Texas and Vanderbilt all failed to take care of business and now it's up to the committee--that's on them
Let's not forget Miami didn't play UVa or Duke either--they had about the easiest schedule possible
