What Am I Missing On Indiana?

They are undefeated and besides this game they have been blowing everyone out. They have great WRs that made incredible catches. They will be undefeated and no matter what happens in the Big 10 championship game they will probably get a bye and be in the Quarter Finals.

For the first time EVER I watched 2/3 of IU vs PSU. I saw bigger faster PSU players playing like they were on a mission. I saw a "good" IU team run a "good" offensive scheme with a "good" QB (not great non NFL arm). And they won!? The catch was awesome so doubt but still?! What am I missing here.

Cignetti is a good head coach with a good offensive mind. Just my opinion…

Good offensive scheme…great QB…incredible WRs

They’re a good team that has only played one ranked opponent. We won’t know who they really are until playoffs.

Good well-coached team. They don’t beat themselves.

They have to beat OSU for me to believe. Good football team for sure. Last year they looked great until they played OSU and got whipped. Oregon is their only ranked win.

They have a great coach-I would imagine every team in America aside from maybe 2 or 3 would like 1 just like him.

They’re WELL COACHED.

☝️ Seriously. Look at the teams they rolled.

NFL scouts disagree with you re: Mendoza I know, I know, scouts get it wrong sometimes. But if you are a better evaluator of QB talent, why aren’t you getting paid to do so?

If you are undefeated, you're not going to play well every week. They struggled today but found a way to win. I watched them dominate Oregon at Oregon.

They play the easiest non conference schedule in College football every year, their Coach doesn’t play tough non conference teams

They play no one. Many have said that. It’s similar to the Vandy effect. Only difference is that Vandy actually plays a tough schedule. The media gets over hyped about schools that have been horrendous their entire history and then put together a handful of great records over a few years. Just wait until Indiana has to play an Ohio St. or someone in the CFP.

I thought they were a team with a lucky schedule until today. Penn State played a hell of a game and Indiana found a way in the last 2 minutes of the game to pull it out. They are a very good team. I am surprised. Respect

It was a great game. But Penn state is a 3-6 team with a backup QB and interim coach.

The I want it more than you do attitude.

Bet it’s nice to make the playoffs, especially 2 in a row.

Yeah. Thats the worst part of the playoffs. It benefits teams with the easiest schedule. Indiana would be 8-4 at best with our schedule. But like I said we will see it in the playoffs. And honestly I would love to see Indiana win it all. I’m actually pulling for them. But I’m not blind to how they got there. And if they do win it I will happily admit that I was wrong about their team.

Shouldn’t Carolina be 8-4 with our schedule?? Carolina recruits better than Indiana by a pretty good margin. If Indiana would be 8-4 with Carolina’s schedule then what’s the reason(or excuse)that Carolina isn’t?

I think we should be and I think we all know the reasons we aren’t. Shula was bad no doubt about it. But if Sellers had played like a first round pick we would still be 8-4 at worst even with Shula. We have had some big misses on talent on the offensive side of the ball which I think a better OC could have still worked with.

That Penn State team was not a 3-6 team. Without Franklin they are a very good team, especially in Happy Valley, but i get your point

Really? Are you just making this up? Georgia - Marshall, Austin Peay, Charlotte Texas - San Jose St, UTEP, Sam Houston Yes, I realize that this year Georgia and Texas play a 4th non-conference game that is difficult, but Indiana plays 9 conference games, There are many teams across the country that play easy non-conference games.

When Indiana played Oregon, the Ducks were ranked #3 in the country. Two weeks earlier, they played then ranked #9 Illinois. Normally, Penn St is one of the top teams in the country and they played very well tonight in Happy Valley.
