COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Indiana coach Curt Cignetti didn't think he needed to say it. Following Saturday's 38-15 loss at Ohio State, do his upstart Hoosiers still belong in the 12-team playoff?
"Is that a serious question?" Cignetti responded defiantly. "I'm not even going to answer that one. The answer's so obvious."
Cignetti then smiled and nodded yes with a wink before exiting the postgame podium.
Tuesday will reveal whether the playoff selection committee agrees.
Indiana's potential inclusion - or exclusion - figures to be the most controversial playoff storyline ahead of the final week of the regular season.
