Tom questions whether Indiana indeed passes the "eye test," while Rhett counters with strong arguments asserting that they are legitimate contenders. Next, they focus on Rutgers' significant win, noting how the team gains momentum as they recover from injuries. They also highlight UCLA's impressive victory over Iowa. The discussion then shifts to Penn State's comeback after losing to Ohio State; they bounced back with a win against Washington.
