Bear in mind that 2019 IU has an inflated record due to weak OOC scheduling. 2019 IU shows up as an 8-5 team but they were only 5-4 in conference. If you add them up points-wise, they were dead even in margin of victory/loss throughout 9 conference games. In conference they scored 267 points, and gave up... 267 points. 

I'm sure the weirdness of 2020 in general, and the fact that they only had 7 games prior to the bowl, also add up. 

It's a lot more statistically common to go 6-1 (86%) in 7 consecutive hands of blackjack than it is to maintain an 86% win rate in 13 consecutive hands of blackjack. Give 2020 IU a full season, and maybe it would have smoothed that outlier nature a little more. Or maybe it wouldn't, if they scheduled OOC like they did in 2019 (Ball State, FCS Eastern Illinois, should-be-FCS UConn).

My o/u should be at least 8, maybe 9.

I used to loop Kentucky with Indiana for obvious reasons, but UK has sustained some pretty good seasons of late, including 10-3 in 2018.  They could repeat that this year, possibly, at 7-3 with Laville, and NMSU remaining plus a bowl.  But most "lesser" programs than have a 10-3 year fall apart the next season (UNC is an extant example).

In Norman he could count on staying a while,build a porch,join the Kiwanis.At Baton Rouge he'll get swept out with Les Miles grass clippings

I’d be somewhat surprised. He walked into a great thing at OU and kept it great. He would have to rebuild a program that has a completely different culture and make up. 

He must be disgruntled at OU for some reason if he leaves. I’m calling it now, if Riley leaves Bob Stoops will return like Bill Snyder at KSU. 

Be nice to go back 20 yrs and stand pat

he may want to get an early start on the SEC? Lol. In all seriousness, he might as well get in now- bc when Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC they'll both have a really tough time ever winning it.

TX/OU should've made a play for the PAC.

You never really know. Same thing was said when Tex/A&M joined the Big 12, then we took 2/3 from the first three championships. Split 2-2 out of the first 4. Remember, this was when Nebraska was very dominant. SWC was considered weak. 

Of course, the sec is very deep, with 5-6 blue bloods or near blue bloods.  But there have been many champions other than Alabama. And Alabama is just as likely to be more like Texas than they are Ohio state once Saban leaves. What I mean by that is that Ohio state seems to be the only team that plays consistently well through coaching changes.
