If your team draws Boston College in a bowl game at this point, is there any point in even planning on there being a game?
There might be more players on the field than fans in the stands.

Fair enough. ESPN FPI has Tennessee 30th and Indiana 35th, which isn't a big gap.

Indiana won 7 games against FBS opponents, with a combined winning percentage of 28.6%. Not a single team they beat finished the year with a winning record.

Tennessee won 6 games against FBS opponents, with a combined winning percentage of 48.6% (regular season, bowls excluded). 4 of those 6 teams finished bowl-eligible.

Is SP+ adjusted for strength of schedule? Because Tennessee's was definitely tougher.
Yes. Though it is not result based - being good against Penn State but losing will count more than liking like crap and winning

As another big ten season winds down I just want to say it's been a pleasure to enjoy everyone's company.
