I like how the committee gave IU a lot of cred for the last second win at hapless Penn State and voted them #2. 

Meanwhile there is an SEC team out there who pretty  much did the same thing, on the road at Top Ten Notre Dame, and is undefeated, yet they rank them #3.  And this same team bodied a ranked team (top 20 in the CFP and AP/CP) on the road. 
Eh. The Committee had IU #2 before last weekend. Probably on the basis of beating Oregon by 10 on the road and hammering Illinois. 

Keeping them #2 after a scare is just inertia IMHO. While A&M beat #22 (at the time) Mizzou on the road by two scores, the committee just didn't value that win enough to flip them.

The Ags have been in the SEC for over a decade, not sure that would be weird.

What would be weird is the Ags winning the CFB playoffs. :57:

So, what would you rank UI and OSU if UI loses say 27-24?

Keep them at 2?  Presume A&M wins out, it would be easier to keep a one loss UI ahead of one loss UGA.  The good news I suppose is that it matters little.

UGA will face a pretty tough opponent a week from Friday in ATL (Tech).  Both teams could be 10-1 at the time.

How many folks here think Indiana is a "real team", as in, they could pretty much play with anyone?

I know their Helmet gets in the way.

At worst, they are a solid, well coached "good" team, but are they elite?  I don't know.

Zero chance I'd pick them over the Buckeyes, but I'd pick them over lots of other teams.
