A team like OSU winning the conference or making a playoff run or even winning it all doesn’t move the needle. They’ve done it before and they will do it again. OSU was a better program than us yesterday and will be a better program than us tomorrow.

Having another moribund program like Indiana leapfrogging us to become a title contender is objectively bad. Why would we want another team to move themselves above us in the pecking order? It’s a zero sum game. All that does us push us down.
