1.000, 1, 0

(30.00) In a model that only takes point margin into account, it's no surprise Indiana is #1 and that they would be favored against OSU by 4.5pts on a neutral field. If Curt Cignetti set out to game my model, it wouldn't look any different from what he is currently doing. I have no plans to change how my model works even if I disagree with it.

I’m a busy man, I’ve got a lot happening ya know. And at the end of the week I just want to watch a bit of football, eat a burrito, and lick a doorknob or two. Hey, guilty pleasures. And while I can’t prove it, I think Coach Cig, Mr Cig, the Ciganet, Coach Cignetti, also likes to partake in those same activities. But rather than be a bum just watching football (me) he’s coaching the historical doormat of Indiana to a 9-0 season with wins over Oregon and Iowa. The vast majority of their games, they’ve absolutely embarrassed their opponents and have the best case for number one.

Been dominant all season and remain undefeated. (Big 10 CHMAPION)

Coaches #2, AP #2

Still looking the most dominant, but only barely above #2 aTm for me right now.

With the exception of the Iowa game, really remarkable how they don't get pulled into the muck and keep blowing out teams.

Exact same as OSU with a side of extra murderball

Most complete offense, but Ohio State’s defense keeps Ohio State above them

Murdered the shelled ones

--

9-0 defeated Oregon (7-1), Iowa (6-2) and Illinois (6-3 with win over USC)

They dominate opponents they should beat

-

Still want to say that they have the most impressive resume in the country, but as the weeks go on, I keep souring on Oregon, and thus, souring a bit on the Indiana hype.

I'm too lazy to put descriptions for every team, so I'll only include them for ones that I feel deserve an explanation for their ranking.

Hoosiers cruise on, but next week I fear they might have something of a trap game
