Indiana showing why an 11-1 record vs garbage teams doesn't make a playoff contender.
Only 2 games vs teams with winning records.
Beatdown by 3 TDs vs Ohio St. and squeaked by a 7-5 Michigan by 5 points.

Not great, but over 1/2 their games were against teams who finished above .500
They went 6-1 vs those teams, beating many of them handily.
Record of Indiana opponents = 57-75 (and a 4-8 FCS school)
Record of ND opponents = 75-71
Seems pretty straight forward to me.
