UMass hung in with Georgia for far too long, OM loses, Bama loses, A&M may lose.......wow.  The gods must love Indiana.

Every time I think college football has found a new cringe an SEC team adds a stupid light show

If Indiana wasnt already in, then just cancel the season and use the recruiting composite rankings

They have the resume of a mid-major who lost their only big-boy game.  Every B1G and SEC 2-loss team should've been in over IU.  
There are just a lot fewer 2-loss teams now.

IU's backing in comes via a steamroller backing over dreams of the bottom of the top of SEC. 

You hate to see it.

I don't know why this is, but UGA plays with its food to a truly impressive degree. Like when you look at their games against dog teams in recent years, there are some stretches of play that are shockingly low-grade.

They've done a good job blowing out those unimpressive opponents, as a great team would....but it doesn't make IU a great team (not to move the goalpost).  

Which B1G and SEC teams with 2 or fewer losses would IU have been favored against, before today's results?
Any?

Drone shows are usually cool. And setting them on fire also seems cool.

A&M. And they would've been like 1.5-2 point dogs to Tenn.

It is the way.

They also rallied a bit, which is nice to see. They were just awful early in the season. Now just kinda bad.
