Three for IU? I know they've already got two, but I can't think of any other time since 1997 that they would have finished in the top 12...

And frankly due to the auto-bids, they'd probably have to finish top 10...

Yeah I can't comment on the veracity of it.  It's a social media infographic, you want fact-checking too???

Given the number of G5s present though, I'd say that the originator did at least attempt to respect the auto-bids, which would mean it's not just a "final AP Top 12" or "final BCS ranking" kind of list.

Once you get below 10, it's starting to be a pretty sad collection of teams. A few good seasons here and there, obviously.

I figured the Badgers would have had a few, being B1G champs (or close) so many times since 1997.

Do all four of the potential appearances belong to Solich? Or did Pelini sneak one in there somewhere?

TBH, if it had said "2" for IU, I wouldn't have said anything...

Of course, I'd pull for 97.2% of college teams against Miami.
Only 97.2%?  For me I think it is >99%.  I can only think of one team that I'd actually pull for Miami against.

Yeah you know, you're right.  This infrographic seems like it might be very wrong.  If you can't trust the internet, who can you trust???
