The 2024 college football season has been a crazy one to say the least, but one of the most astounding teams this season are the Indiana Hoosiers. With the regular season coming to a close, the Hoosiers have two games remaining on their schedule. After facing a challenging opponent in the defending National Champions, Indiana was met with a much-needed bye week to address their offensive struggles. Now, the 10-0 Hoosiers are preparing to face a championship caliber team this Saturday in Columbus.

Hoosier Huddle's College Football Playoff and Bowl Projections - November 17

Written by T.J. Inman

The Indiana Hoosiers enjoyed a well-earned rest this weekend. The Hoosiers sit at 10-0 heading into the massive clash against #2 Ohio State. A very strong argument could be made that this game is the biggest Indiana University football game since at least 1967. IU is a 10.5-point underdog to the Buckeyes in Columbus. A victory in Columbus would very likely send the Hoosiers to Indianapolis to compete for the Big Ten Championship while a loss would leave IU’s fate at the mercy of the selection committee. How would the Playoff Committee view an 11-1 Indiana team? That will largely depend on the nature of the loss.

A Look at Curt Cignetti's Teams Results After a Bye Week

Written by: Nate Comp (@NathanComp1)

You often hear in football that certain coaches are just harder to go up against after they have had a bye week. Whether it is getting their guys extra rest, having more time to scout the opponent, or adding new tricks to their own playbook, some coaches just seem to have an advantage when given extra time to prepare. Nick Saban was a common example of this theory; back in the BCS days, when given so much time to prepare between the conference championship and national championship games, he simply was more difficult to go up against after all the extra time to prepare.

The Indiana Hoosiers are 10-0 and ranked 5th in the College Football Playoff rankings. That temporarily parks the Hoosiers as the number seven seed in the 12-team playoff bracket.

IU has a bye week to rest up and that means Indiana fans get the weekend to focus on rooting for other results that could help the Hoosiers make the College Football Playoff.
