In the end Indiana will in all probability get in with a 1 loss season but a very weak schedule. Wins against W. ILL, FIU, UCLA when they sucked early, Charlotte, Maryland, Northwestern, Washington, Mich St., Mich. and probably win vs. Purdue. IU is decent but no powerhouse so we'll see next week how they do on the road in Columbus.
Iowa St. dropping like a lead balloon.
In my reality if you are a fan of the game of college football then you root for Army, Navy and Air Force as they are the schools that don't use NIL and the transfer portal.
In the 2024 college football playoffs, under the 12-team playoff format that begins this fall, the four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded one through four and each will receive a first-round bye, while teams seeded five through 12 will play each other in the first round on the home field of the higher-ranked team. (The team ranked #5 will host #12; team #6 will meet team #11; team #7 will play team #10; and team #8 will meet #9.) The quarterfinals and semifinals will be played in the New Year's Six bowl games, the national championship game will continue to be at a neutral site. No conference will qualify automatically and there will be no limit on the number of participants from a conference. <---- Home field advantage will be huge!
