Your methodology is too binary. It’s not just W/L. Bill Parcsls, famous statement “you are what your record says you are” is more apt for the NFL than cfb. For me, it’s how one performs. How the team looks, offense, defense, rush (interior v ends) or pass (sml), special tesms. A one point less to Bama in Tuscaloosa is not the same as losing to Minnesota by double digits on a neutral. In the NFL, Penn State v Monmouth doesn’t happen. Everyone is hard capped and things are pro rata.
I think it’s fair to say icla has looked some degree below expectations almost every half except one — even at our best we were hardly dominant.
Btw why do we think Indiana is good? They haven’t and won’t play a ranked team until their second to last game. They have a very light schedule. Thr only ranked teams they play are 24 Michigan and 2 Ohio State.
