BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana enters a bye week with a distinction no previous Hoosiers have ever had on the football field: a 10-0 record.
Coach Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers won a program-record 10th game on Saturday at a sold-out Memorial Stadium, defeating Michigan 20-15. Following the win, Indiana moved up three spots to No. 5 in the AP Top 25 Poll, and it could make a similar jump in the next College Football Playoff rankings, which come out Tuesday night.
Indiana is also 7-0 in Big Ten play, good for a first-place tie with No. 1 Oregon. The Big Ten champion gets a top-four seed and an automatic bye in the College Football Playoff, and Indiana likely needs to win its next game, at No. 2 Ohio State on Nov. 23, for that to be a possibility.
Below is a list of recent bowl projections for Indiana, following a 10-0 start.
