1 Losses: Ohio State.
Another loss for the BYE week! Indiana has not looked great. But they lost to Ohio State, when they were still good AND haven't lost otherwise. Outside UCLA they are leading the Big Ten. Texas has better wins, including Ohio State, who beat Indiana. But the two bad losses for Texas are tough compared to just (still good) Ohio State. Really just 1 < 2

Losses: Ohio State (15-19)

Comment: Drop a bit over the Bye week thanks to tremendous wins by Utah and Georgia, and a loss by Ohio State making their loss seem less forgivable.

Bank_Gothic 6 Indiana's only loss was close to an OSU that still had Julian Sayin as their starter. The Hoosiers have wins over a solid UNT squad, Northwestern (who I still rate in my top-30) and Minnesota. It's a respectable schedule, but not super impressive. There were also a lot of close wins that felt like coin flips. A clunker here or there is okay, but Indiana seems to have a lot of them. Winning with defense still nets Indiana the No. 6 spot.

sgtshenanigans 6 Indiana moves up one after the bye week even though three teams above them lose. Unfortunately for the Hoosiers they really don't have a signature win. Note I am not going to punish Indiana for future losses from Ohio State as Julian Sayin played against Indiana but hasn't since I think Ohio State would have a better record if their star QB was healthy.

smartkeg 6 Indiana has put together an excellent 8–1 season and deserves to be in this tier. The body of work is strong enough for the top tier, though I would like to see another high-end performance before moving the Hoosiers higher.

StFuzzySlippers 9 Lowkey, they've been scraping by the last few weeks, and the Ohio State loss is looking more and more like something a team in their position should have won. Sure, Texas and Alabama have lost 2, but their wins inspire far more confidence in their ceiling.

tbraptors 12 Indiana is tough to rank, with a close loss to Ohio St when Sayin was QB, but with no other ranked wins I see absolutely no reason to have them ranked top 10, let alone top 5. Losing close to Ohio St is not some huge accomplishment this year, even when Sayin was playing, and squeaky OT wins against Michigan and Minnesota probably reveal how good this team actually is.
