Indiana by infinity

[Andy]

As is tradition, I've updated the original post with the CFP committee rankings

[Old Style]

What’s that number next to Texas A&M’s name? Surely my eyes are deceiving me. I’m going to wake up tomorrow to find out we’re really 4-4, right?

[soccer10k]

So we've got ... *checks notes* ... Indiana, BYU, Ole Miss, Virginia and Texas Tech all in the top 12. Makes total sense.

I'll take it.

Looking forward to A&M - Missouri, think A&M wins but, should be a close game.  Do not believe BYU-TT will be close, TT wins by a decent margin.

My wife bailed on the Badgers / Wash game tomorrow afternoon.  I asked my son-in-law if he wanted to come.  Ghosted.  Gonna rain/snow.  I could sell the tickets for $14 apiece.  Probably less than the fees.

This is fun.  Screw everyone, I'll be there freezing my ass off.

Penn State leading Indiana in the 4th…

[Derwood]

Well that’s one of the best TD catches I’ve ever seen in my life. 

[Old Style]

What an amazing finish. Poor Penn State fans. 

[Nolansomebody]

Holy horsefeathers, Indiana

[Nolansomebody]

Now for whatever Iowa State/TCU is going to be

[Nolansomebody]

Iowa State Tight End Benjamin Brahmer had to be carted off the field last week, and scores the first touchdown for ISU today.

Unbelievable.

[cwood218]

I had been fearing the PSU game for weeks.

I'm not even mad about it. That was an amazing finish for Indiana.

I can't think of a better one offhand. That was absolutely amazing.

[gflore34]

Certainly was a fantastic catch, would have been good on Sunday as well.  After what's been and is going to be another fantastic season for Indiana.  Is it only a matter of time before the big boys - PSU, LSU and, to an extent, Florida come calling with a boat load of money for Cignetti?

[We Got The Whole 9]

That is one of the greatest catches ever made. That should live on in highlight reels for years to come.

Cignetti is in his 60s and just got a contract guaranteeing him $11M plus per year. He's not going anywhere, nor should he.

The B1G, not content to just screw over people outside their circle in the pursuit of more money, has decided to shove a private capital deal down the throats of 2 of their most prominent members.

What a bunch of losers.

16 B1G members want more money even if Mich, OSU and PSU get more

USC wants more money as long as its split equally

Michigan seems to be saying its a short term boondoggle that will not be great in the long term. Sounds like they want a bigger split. 

From an educational point of view, all students will learn a lot about real world money grabbing

Here’s a fun one. South Florida and UTSA played this week. South Florida didn’t run a single offensive play until there were 2 minutes left in the first quarter. However when they finally got the ball, they were already up 14-3 because they had a pick 6 and a fumble returned for a TD.
