Coaches poll is so lazy. All they did was take the playoff teams from last year, pull out the two G5 teams, and drop in ND and UTa.

So OU is ranked 7th in the SEC preseason poll and 9th in the coaches poll is interesting.

Not sure I'm buying Indiana at 6.
They lost their Heisman winning QB and they aren't sneaking up on anyone this year.

They're guaranteed 10 wins with their joke of a schedule

Their schedule is a joke because they play a Big Ten conference schedule? Perhaps you missed how the Big Ten did against the SEC last year.

Love seeing the Script A's locked at the top of the page.

How long until someone complains and has them moved to the bottom?

Their strength of schedule ranks outside of the top 30, genius. Go cry on a Big Ten board.

We won't really know until at least a few weeks into the season. You'd think the last three years would have humbled SEC fans but I guess not.

Their schedule is objectively weak. I didn't come up with the SOS rankings. So, WTF are you talking about and what are you doing here?

Ummmm....people on this board said the same thing about IU last year. They had played in the weak Big Ten. People who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

There's no defending Indiana's schedule. I dont know how any fan of the sport would want national championship level teams playing such a garbage out of conference schedule.

Ohio State has Texas but it also has Ball State and Kent State. Indiana has North Texas which has been a solid program. Is Ohio State's out of conference schedule tougher? Sure on the basis of Texas > North Texas but don't act like Ball State and Kent State aren't soft touches.

I'll guess we'll see soon as who is better between Ohio State and Indiana since it is your fourth game.

Like hell. We went 4-8 last season and now have to break in a new QB that has never started behind an unproven O-line. We shouldn't get a single vote imo.

This isn't the opinion of "people on this board" it's SOS rankings. What are you, some kind of Big Ten fluffer? Look at Indiana's present and future out of conference schedule. You want to defend that?

I'll take a page out of the SEC playbook. For years, many of the top SEC teams played weak out of conference schedules including those complete cupcakes just before rivalry week. The retort? "Our conference schedule is so strong that it doesn't matter." Now that the Big Ten is clearly stronger than the SEC and has been for a while, why isn't that a fine retort now for Indiana?
