Man, that was a fun few weeks of getting off our College Football Playoff jokes and memes, wasn’t it? A couple years ago, during the first playoff rankings reveal of the season, I had photoshopped Indiana (4-5) into the No. 1 seed of the CFP graphic, slapped that thing on my snapchat story and watched it spread like wildfire.
Three years later, Indiana was maybe Ty Fryfogle’s first drop of the season, a red-zone fumble and a pick-six away from actually debuting in the top four of the selection committee’s rankings. What a world.
If you stop to say, hey now, isn’t that a little unfair to pick out IU’s worst plays from the game and project how the game would’ve been different if IU didn’t pee down its leg a little in those moments?
