Several authors have recently argued that a satisfactory inflationary scenario can be implemented in the Standard Model (SM) by introducing a strong non-minimal coupling of the Higgs doublet to gravity. It is shown here that type I seesaw physics containing right handed neutrinos at intermediate scales can have a significant impact on the inflationary predictions of these models. For one such model, values of the scalar spectral index lower than the tree level prediction of 0.968 are realized for plausible values of the seesaw parameters and a SM Higgs boson mass close to 130 GeV. A precise measurement of n_s by PLANCK, as well as measurement of the Higgs boson mass by LHC should provide stringent tests of this SM based inflationary scenario supplemented by type I seesaw physics.
