A historic splattering. A colossal beatdown. A dominant destruction. A slaughter in the snow. Call it whatever you want to but the stone-cold reality is that the Indiana Hoosiers mercilessly beat the Purdue Boilermakers 66-0 and sent a resounding final impression to the Playoff Selection Committee. That performance, combined with losses by Miami and Texas A&M, all but ensure the Indiana Hoosiers will be included in the first 12-team College Football Playoff when the official bracket is announced on December 8. Indiana probably will not be able to climb into position to host a first-round playoff game but it certainly appears they should be safely in.
