Can we exchange IU with Texas and ask the same question.  What's their best win?  narrow win at Vandy?

8-2

Texas had what looked like a good win at Michigan on the road at the time.  They beat Oklahoma soundly, again, not looking now like a thing.  The 3 point win at Vandy was shortened by a late Vandy TD.  They also looked mortal at Arkansas.  They looked up at the scoreboard against UGA and thought the start of the game must have already happened.  So, no highly impressive wins there.  

As someone noted, Tennessee doesn't have a much different slate though they did beat Bama and were upset by Arkansas and beat Florida in OT.  They looked very good at UGA for a few minutes.

I say, Let the Hoosiers enjoy their undefeatedness, at least until the 2nd half of Saturday's game.
They will be tested by the top of the big Ten before the playoff

I'd rather question the top of the Big 12, the ACC, and the PAC

I think it's "fair" to question any of the top teams.  One can present the idea "they haven't beaten anyone" for most of them, and then if they have, just say "Well, I don't think X is really that good."

Take UGA, you can make a case Texas/Tenn/Clemson aren't really banner wins.  Ohio State can point to PSU (who isn't really any good because they haven't beat anyone).  It goes on and on.  You end up with "Nobody is very good", which isn't the relavent question.

it's silly to try to answer the question of this thread until Indiana has actually played a top team

we should be able to give much better answers next week

As a Tennessee guy, with an obvious rooting interest, my beef is with Ole Miss, and Texas -- if they suffer a 2nd loss (A&M).

Ole Miss has done nothing better than Tennessee, has a worse loss (at home), and didn't even attempt to play anyone with a pulse in the non-conference.

Texas had a creampuff schedule, as was rightly pointed out before the season, and their best win is ..... Vandy?  I do think they are a good team, however, and if they beat A&M, then this argument is moot, and they are certainly deserving.

Texas at least tried to play someone

bama went to Wisconsin

Georgia played Clemson

your Vols played NC St.

A&M played ND - best so far!

LSU played USC

Ole Miss played Wake Forrest??? Geez

South Carolina has Clemson coming up

___________

so, the SEC front runners played 3 decent non-con games
2 against Clemson and ND

UGA also has Georgia Tech upcoming, as usual, and they are "Others Receiving Votes".  For now.

And they beat Miami.

Texas has the exact same SEC schedule as Tennessee, except swap Alabama for Texas A&M.  Both of which currently have 2 losses and look to be in roughly the same tier.  So anything said about Texas' schedule goes the same for Tennessee's schedule. 

So as the French might say, "Et voila."

And there you have it.
