The College Football Playoff’s selection committee unveiled its fourth set of rankings for the 2025 season during a live show on Tuesday night.
Indiana, ranked No. 2 in both the AP and Coaches’ top-25 polls, remained at No. 2 for the fourth straight week. The Hoosiers are coming off of a bye week following a 31-7 win over Wisconsin in the program’s last home game of the regular season.
Indiana holds a win over one fellow ranked teams: No. 6 Oregon. Illinois and Iowa were previously ranked, but have
fallen out of the top-25 entirely after some less-than-great losses. Other ranked Big Ten teams include No. 1 Ohio State, No. 15 Michigan and No. 17 USC.
The Hoosiers have started 11-0 for the first time in program history, finishing 11-1 in their breakout 2024 season that included a bid in the first iteration of the playoff’s 12-team format. It was the first season for head coach Curt Cignetti, who has since received a new 8-year contract.
Indiana currently sits at +500 to win the 2025 national championship and +190 odds to make the title game per FanDuel Sportsbook. As a de facto lock, the Hoosiers don’t have odds to make the playoff listed.
Indiana will head north on Friday to take on rival Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette in the Battle for the Old Oaken Bucket.
