Not counting when Iowa beats top 25 teams and knocking them out of the rankings where if those teams had won, they’d count beating us is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Not counting Iowa say beating #22 USC to end the season and knocking them out of the final top 25, also, dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. While I get what the base of this argument is, it’s too rigid and doesn’t account for a whole F ton of common sense

The CFP ranking appears to correlate more to the AP & coaches poll.

The statistic that Iowa has not beaten a team ranked in the final Top 25 since 2019 is a demonstrable objective fact.
You are entitled to your interpretation of this fact. As am I.

Indiana has taken full advantage of a very fortuitous schedule. Not an easy thing to do. Most teams fail to win out with a soft schedule.

They are sitting very nicely right now. Beat Ohio State and they're in the top four. Win all but Ohio State and they are still in the playoff bracket.
