Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti Just Called Out SEC Teams
11/20/2024 04:08 PM
Indiana is having a fabulous 2024 season.
The program is off to its first 10-0 start in history and has also set the record for its most wins in a season. It goes to show how great of a coach Curt Cignetti is.
The Hoosiers are in the thick of it for a spot in both the Big Ten title game and the College Football Playoff. They have a massive game coming up on Saturday in Columbus against the Ohio State Buckeyes before ending the regular season against the Boilermakers of Purdue.
Even if they finish 11-1, there's a chance that they could be left out of the CFP for an SEC team or two and Cignetti isn't happy about it. He recently called out some SEC teams since SEC people have gone after the Hoosiers' schedule.
"You know these schedules are set years in advance. And I mean, Alabama played Mercer, and Georgia played Chattanooga, right? Vanderbilt played Georgia State but lost," Cignetti said, via On3. "I mean, the schedule is what it is, and the fact of the matter is we've beaten seven P4 teams."
The Hoosiers have beaten the Michigan Wolverines, who won last year's national title, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who were once 5-1, and the Washington Huskies. While it's not as tough of a schedule as some SEC teams, you can only beat who is on your schedule and so far, the Hoosiers are unbeaten.
They'll face their toughest test yet against a Buckeyes team that's all-in for this season. Their only loss came against the Oregon Ducks a few weeks ago.
If the Hoosiers can score an upset, they'll not only be in the Big Ten title game, but they'll be one step closer to being a lock for the CFP.
Kickoff for this matchup will be at Noon ET on Saturday.
