To play devil's advocate, what eye test has LSU or Ole Miss passed? Why is texas ranked?
PSU on the road at that point was a good win...they became completely unraveled after the loss. I do think Oregon & IU have the best road wins this season. Bama's best win is at home, UGA's best win is at home, OSU's best win is at home.
I do think Bama would beat IU, but is being ranked #4 with 1-loss while IU is #2 & undefeated really a big deal? 12 teams getting in, so it's not like it's all y'all competing for 4 spots anymore. BCS era, I'd understand more about your issue more... You're better off being #3 in the sec, having IU win the B1G and then playing them after a they've been chillin for 5 weeks.
