Big Ten Football: Week 6 Power Rankings

6. Indiana

Week 6 result – 38-17 loss to Ohio State

Indiana may have lost to Ohio State, but this was the closest contested game of the Buckeyes’ season thus far. The Hoosiers put up a fight whether the final score showed it or not.

This team isn’t bad. In fact, they have a good chance of getting to a decent bowl game. They still need to play Nebraska and Michigan. But if they can at least win one of those two, they’ll have a pretty good resume at the end of the season. If they win both, they’ll have a top 25 resume at the end of the year.

This team’s future is entirely up to them. They’ve yet to show us that they aren’t one of the top Big Ten teams. If they can stay competitive and maybe pull off an upset they’ll be in good shape come bowl season.
