No. 10 Indiana Hoosiers
The Hoosiers have to start fast if they have any hopes of reaching postseason play for just the second time since 1993. Indiana leads off with Southern Illinois at home before facing Florida International, Western Kentucky and Wake Forest. WKU is no joke after winning eight games including one of the great comebacks in history 49-48 over Central Michigan in the Bahamas Bowl.
Wake Forest brings back one of the nation’s most anemic offenses led by sophomore quarterback John Walford and won just one ACC game in 2014. Indiana’s first Big Ten assignment is vs Ohio State. The Hoosiers pushed the Buckeyes into the 4th quarter last year and only trailed 21-20 with 14 minutes left before falling 42-20.
The trip to Columbus begins the toughest stretch of the season with a following week trip to Happy Valley and dates vs Rutgers and Michigan State. Indiana catches a break with its Western Division matchups with Iowa and Purdue.
