    Is anyone else here from Indiana (especially if you are older than most people on the forum)? Or maybe you're a longtime Big Ten fan with an appreciation of this fact: IU is favored by 14 points over Michigan!!! Never in my lifetime did I think such a thing was possible.

    Michigan is 42-2 against IU in their last 44 games.

    For the record, I'm a Purdue grad that will celebrate if they win on Saturday. They should be getting a lot more attention IMO.

    Really like this Indiana team, Roarke has been awesome, Cignetti is an awesome coach.

    I will do (attempt) cartwheels in the yard if Purdue wins today.

    Also, and this makes me feel dirty, Go Ol' Miss

    Horns will be ranked 4th minimum with Miami's loss, but hell, 12 teams make the playoffs this year.

    Does anyone get a bye?

    I said it, I knew it, it just took a couple of weeks longer than I expected. Thank you, GT.

    I'm not sure which could be worse:

    Day drunk Floridians running around Atlanta tonight

    Day drunk Floridians running around Austin tonight

    Should be 3rd if Ole Miss can hang on.

    The 4 highest ranked conference champions get a bye.

    Pretty sure the SEC needs to start using the George T. Sherman ranking scale: which school got ****ed up first?

    SEC stacked ONG. South Carolina, Vandy, even Arkansas can bite you.

    OU should still be playing Colorado and PP-Tech.

    Don't get me wrong: I'm VERY glad UGA will lose to Ole Miss. However, if Carson Beck hadn't regressed so much, they would be undefeated. I don't know what's happened to him, but he's just not that guy and I'm very happy about it.

    Congrats to IU. There was no way they would beat Michigan comfortably. It had to be close.

    They'll finish 11-1 and should make the CFP after being picked to finish 17th-18th in the conference.

    What a season!

    If their QB was as good as he could have been then the team would be better than they are?

    LSU is one of the worst coached teams I've seen since... LSU with Ed Orgeron in 2020.

    Yes I get that.

    If ~3 teams in the SEC all have 1 conference loss, how do you determine who goes to the Championship Game?

    That can't happen because UT and A&M play each other Thanksgiving Saturday.

    Also, how much you wanna bet Tennessee loses big at UGA next Saturday?

    Huh? There are no Divisions in the SEC. It is ALL ONE SEC. So yes, it can happen.

    If Tennessee doesn't win out, there is going to be a bunch of 2 loss teams fighting for the second spot in the SEC championship game.
