Unlike say, alabama, who lost three games during the regular season.

Indiana lost to two teams all season:
National champion Ohio State
Runner-up Notre Dame

Apologize to them

He does have a point.

I may have to agree they played some good teams and beat them including Michigan

Indiana's wins were solid with no home overtime games or losses to weak teams so they deserved respect. They would have received even more respect if they had a win against a really good team.

 

[Bamamonts]

Congrats to them. They had a good season. Only lost to the 2 best teams but no wins against really good teams.

 

[Gravey]

So they lost to 2 teams that most others did too when they played them but yet had 0 wins against a top 25? Apologize to them for what?

Michigan played out of their heads against Ohio St since it was rivalry. I think that's something that isn't factored in when thinking about wins/losses sometimes. Well Michigan beat OSU. Yup, they did but also played about 2 tiers above the team they actually are to do it. Rankings are such an imperfect science.

Ok I just read the link. That wasn't the coach who said it, but some fan/writer looking for clicks bait. I guess he got it.

 

[BMan]

Who said anything about the coach?

No more click bait than the constant "alabama is the best" horseshat rampant in parts of the south.

100%. We see it every weekend once conference play starts. Rankings will always be imperfect. Too many variables to consider. Maybe I should develop a custom tuned/non-biased GAI model to conduct rankings. Kinda like new school BCS
