BYU has TWO wins against top 25 teams that are otherwise undefeated. Indiana has ZERO. Yes they have looked impressive in their wins but tell me why they “should” jump BYU?

Don't be surprised to see Indy jump BYU in tomorrow's rankings. Sheesh.

Good argument. I fell into recency bias.

Meh. So much football left. If this was mid-November, I am concerned

Get to the big 12 title game and any goals are in tact.

We have better wins. Beat two ranked teams. We thumped KSU. Shouldn’t jump us

Beating a 5-1 team by 40 is hard to ignore

We beat a ranked 5 - 1 team by 30. Nebraska not ranked

You're not wrong, but polls are all about recency bias

True but since we are already ahead of them in the polls I doubt they jump us

I too am pre-outraged at what I think may happen in a poll that makes zero

It has influence on those post season selections and seedings

I think they will. Unless KState and SMU win. Indy's schedule has been soft
