I don’t think it’s the NET that is keeping either one of these teams in the discussion. Neither has an impressive NET - Indiana at 51 and tOSU at 55. You could make that argument for Florida, Texas and perhaps Clemson, who are 33, 39 and 35 in the NET.
I think Indiana and tOSU might very well be a PLAY OUT game, particularly for tOSU, who has really been struggling and looked HORRIBLE for 37 minutes yesterday.
If Indiana loses, I’m not sure how much that really changes their resume. They have great wins, and plenty of them. Another loss is, just that, another loss. And they have plenty of them as well. But at what point is enough, enough?
