Every week brings a shifting in the standings and the potential bowl destinations. This article is not a reflection of where things currently stand. Rather, it is an attempt to project how things will finish. This is my best guess at the bowl game assignments for the Big Ten and of course, the Indiana Hoosiers (if there is to be one).

Indiana knew they were going to have a game on their hands traveling to Ann Arbor and stepping into the Big House and they played to the test. This team seems to perform at times to the level of the competition they face and that is exactly what they did against the Michigan Wolverines. They stepped up to the task and despite playing a well-rounded, hard fought game, they fell just a bit short, but the stand was impressive nonetheless.

The task at hand was always going to be daunting: the second top five ranked opponent of the 2018 season, and the eighth since the start of 2015. Michigan entered the game boasting one of the best defenses in the nation, with the statistics to back that up. Playing on the road against such a team would be no easy task. However, all things considered, the Indiana offense showed some promise. Despite an eventual 31-20 defeat, the Indiana offense flashed enough to get excited for the upcoming “bucket and a bowl” game against Purdue.

Indiana lost 30-21 at No. 4 Michigan, and while nobody was expecting IU to pull off an upset in a hostile environment like the Big House, nobody expected IU to compete against Michigan the way they did today. IU was able to move the ball offensively against the best defense in the country, and they controlled the pace of the game in the first half. As usual, Indiana could not finish the game, and we are going to take a closer look at what worked and what didn’t work in today’s loss against the Wolverines.

The Indiana Hoosiers entered today’s game at 5-5 and needing to win one of their final two contests to reach bowl eligibility. Despite a valiant effort in Ann Arbor, Michigan used five field goals from Jake Moody and strong second half defense to knock off the Indiana Hoosiers, 31-20. Indiana tested Michigan and kept things much closer than many expected against the #4 Maize and Blue but they will now need to win their regular season finish next Saturday against the Purdue Boilermakers to play in a bowl game.

What: Indiana Hoosiers (5-5) at Michigan Wolverines (9-1)
Where: Michigan Stadium
When: Saturday, November 17 at 4:00
How to Watch: The game will be broadcast on FOX. You can also listen to the legendary Don Fischer on the radio on any IU Radio Network station.
What’s at Stake: The Michigan Wolverines have a whole lot at stake as they enter this game at 9-1 and in control of their College Playoff Football destiny. They know that if they can beat Indiana, win in Columbus against archrival Ohio State (and complete their Revenge Tour) and then beat Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship game, they will be in the College Football Playoff and have a shot at the National Championship. In addition, Saturday is Senior Day and a number of high-profile players will play in Michigan Stadium for the final time. Indiana is sitting at 5-5 after a dramatic victory over Maryland. This game represents one of two chances to earn bowl eligibility. IU has not won at Michigan since the 1960s so the much more realistic opportunity comes next Saturday in the Old Oaken Bucket game.

Indiana has two remaining games in the regular season and they need one more win to become bowl eligible. This weekend is going to be one of the toughest matchups they have had all season because of how well rounded Michigan is this year. They are ranked fourth in the country however, in the last few years, the competition between the two teams has been good and Indiana has put up a fight, last year taking them to overtime at home. This year, the Hoosiers travel to Ann Arbor and they are going to look to give the number one ranked defense in the country, a run for their money.
