Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama likely to doom Indiana in the College Football Playoff Rankings if Hoosiers lose to Ohio State | Sporting News
The Athletic’s Chris Vannini believes Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Alabama all have a chance to harm the Hoosiers by the final release of the College Football Playoff Rankings if Indiana loses to Ohio State.
“It’s impossible to rank Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Alabama in the correct order. Nightmare situation for the CFP committee that may ultimately hurt Indiana,” Vannini tweeted on November 16.
“(And opens the door for the Big Ten/SEC to push CFP expansion again).”
Bama247’s Mike Rodak had the same thought as Week 12’s results, which threw the rankings into flux – though he was only thinking of it from the SEC perspective.
“Now the fun part for the CFP committee: how do you rank 2-loss Georgia, Ole Miss, Alabama and Tennessee? Alabama beat Georgia. Tennessee beat Alabama. Georgia beat Tennessee. Ole Miss beat Georgia,” Rodak tweeted.
Georgia beating Tennessee Between the Hedges certainly made things interesting as it pertains to the CFP Rankings. In truth, the Dawgs’ victory over the Volunteers created this four-way parity; which could ultimately affect Indiana up in the Big Ten.
Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti could lose the chance to call Indiana an emerging college football superpower
Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti was proud of his eight-year, $64 million extension during an appearance on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff. He may have put his foot in his mouth calling Indiana an “emerging superpower in college football.”
“Well, you know, honestly, they came to me, they were very proactive,” Cignetti said of Indiana coming with a contract (h/t On3). “And, you know, some people say, ‘Well, you know, why would you do that when this one may open, that one may open, you know, and you’re going to be a hot commodity, blah, blah, blah.’ And the fact that matter is, we’re the emerging superpower in college football. Why would I leave?”
The College Football Playoff Selection Committee could give Cignetti a chance to leave if things don’t break IU’s way: they can make him look for a job with one of the institutionally entrenched schools that don’t deal with these kinds of worries.
KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — It’s fair season and a new law uncorks adult beverage sales!
The new Indiana law will go into effect July 1st, making it legal to sell alcohol at county fairs.
The Kosciusko County Fair is set to kick off in just a few weeks and Indiana is officially allowing alcohol to be sold.
The law is bringing back something that’s not necessarily new to this fair.
Here’s what you need to know
The new law will go into effect on July 1st. It officially allows county fairs to apply for fee-free permits to sell alcohol.
Officials with the Kosciusko County Fair say they are participating this year. They are implementing the same guidelines they used when they sold alcohol just at grandstand events.
The difference now is, you can walk around the grounds with your drink. But strict guidelines will be in place for purchasing a drink.
“Actually, we’ve never had any issues. Because we card everybody, so we take that seriously. We also got the ID guides so we can identify the different types of IDs,” said Sheal Dirck, Treasurer of Kosciusko County Fair.
The Kosciusko County Fair already have guidelines in place, so this was an easy transition for the fair.
They will be the only vendors selling alcohol, which will make it easier to control distribution.
The sales will also bring in more revenue.
“Hopefully it allows to keep our ticket prices where they are because right now, insurance, utilities and everything else is going sky high and it’s hard to make ends meet,” said Dirck.
However, some fairs cannot participate because of the July 1st start date, like the Pulaski County Fair, which is going on right now. Pulaski County officials said it is on the agenda for next year. Whereas other fairs are choosing to sit this year out.
“We wanted not spend some time to, to see what that really means for us. It was not a decision we wanted to rush into. But we are happy for the option of it,” said Shelly Steury, GM of Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds.
Leaders at the St. Joseph County and Elkhart County Fairs said neither of them are selling alcohol.
The Kosciusko County Fair is the only fair that will sell alcohol in our area this year.
