This type of scheduling will keep happening as long as bad SOS is not punished. As a fan this would lower what I would be willing to pay for season tickets, but the AD probably doesn't care about that.
Indiana must be banking on the 4-4-2-2 model, so, make schedule as weak as possible.
Of course, Virginia is far from a juggernaut profile-booster, but at least it gives the appearance of trying.
I think a 4-4-2-2-1 model would make OOC SOS more important because there’s only 3 at-large berths
the opposite would occur with a 4-4-2-2, that's one of the bigger selling points of the idea.
What Indiana is doing is gross and will hurt them if they're ever in that position again
Defensive false starts now a thing: https://footballscoop.com/2025/07/15/college-football-prepares-for-defensive-false-starts
The Big 10 started enforcing this last year so not sure how it would be considered something new, though since each conference has their own officials that also means that each conference determines what rules to emphasize independently.
Looks like Barstool's Dave Portnoy will be joining the Big Noon Kickoff show.
I actually really like the look of those end zones...
Similar to my thinking (in a general way) -- what's the rush? Give 12-team more time to evolve.

If college football's playoff system ain't broke, why fix it?
Big Ten and SEC disagree on an expanded playoff format, which is good for all involved.

I think a 16 team playoff would be better for the team I root for (and the team you root for) but in the grand scheme of things whether it's at 12 or 16 won't change who the champion will be.
