Among undefeated and 1-loss teams,  these are the SOS rankings

7. Ohio St 8-1
11.  Texas 8-1
13.  Tenn 8-1
15.  Penn St 8-1
18.  Oregon 10-0
20.  Notre Dame 8-1
22.  Miami 8-1
35.  BYU 9-0
40.  SMU 8-1
56.  Indiana 10-0
66.  Boise St 8-1
75.  Wash St 8-1
81.  La 8-1
119.  Army 9-0
Are those rankings for the entire season including the portion not yet played?  

I ask because Klatt said IU's was #100 link.  

College Football Nerds said that they have "literally the worst SoS not just in the B1G but in the entire P4" link.

Ok, you got me,  I don't know what that #56 SOS rankings was based on. Please disregard that post.

Looks like the #100 SOS ranking for Indiana previously mentioned came from the ESPN FPI

Looking around,  the massey composite has Indiana with a SOS ranking of 65.  Interestingly Massey only has a SOS of 44 for Ohio St and 66 for Notre Dame
https://masseyratings.com/cf/fbs/ratings

Sagarin has a SOS ranking of 76 for Indiana.

A 1 loss Indiana should be out.  Pathetic scheduling.

imbo Fisher is backing Indiana to be included in the College Football Playoff if the Hoosiers finish the regular season with an 11-1 record.

IU is currently 10-0 and will be idle in Week 12 ahead of its trip to Ohio State in Week 13. Indiana will likely be a big underdog in that matchup against the Buckeyes, but Fisher argues that the result of that game shouldn’t matter as long as Indiana finishes the season with 1 loss.

“A 1-loss Indiana team better be in the Playoff,” Fisher said on SiriusXM Radio on Wednesday with Jacob Hester and EJ Manuel. “I’m telling you that right now.”

Fisher also said a (hypothetical) 1-loss BYU team also deserves to be in the field. Fisher was dismissive of the idea that a 3-loss team from the SEC would be more deserving than Indiana or BYU.

“I think Indiana has been the most consistent team in the country,” Fisher said. “How they’ve been coached, how they’ve played … I see ESPN now is prepping for trying to get 3-loss teams in, I don’t want to get into that, man.

“If [Indiana and BYU) only lose 1 game, both of them, they both better be in.”

A 3 loss SEC won't get in.  The problem will be 4 or 5 two loss SEC teams, which would deserve to be in over Indiana.

For the crime of playing a much tougher schedule?

Depending, I could see a path for a 3 loss UGA making the playoff as a low seed, it's possible if other teams tank late.  They would have two decent wins over playoff teams and three losses ostensibly to other playoff teams.  I'm NOT saying they should make it, only that they COULD make it.

I'm LOL because we've argued on here so many times about how the 12 team playoff will diminish interest, and nobody would care, on and on, and here we are arguing about #13-16, strength of schedule, who is getting screwed, etc.  

Welcome to the new boss.  Same as the old boss.

I didn't think it would diminish interest in the sport, just some aspects thereof.

I can see a lot of players sitting out bowl games, even the Orange Bowl et al.

This was already an increasing trend before a 12-team playoff.  I think it's more a sign of the times than anything else.
