This is an accomplishment 25 years in the making. Indiana hasn't been ranked since September 20, Hooisers about to be with losses to Ohio State and in last minute at Michigan State.

Should crack the AP rankings tomorrow. While the Hoosiers played great defense on Saturday night, their first Saturday night home game in November in school history, it has been the offense that led Indiana to seven wins already this year. Outside of the lop-sided loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes in September, the Hoosiers have scored at least 31 points in every other contest. In all seven of their wins, the Hoosiers have managed at least 31 points of offense.

Both can move around a little bit in the pocket and makes plays with their legs. So how good can this Hoosiers team be?

With the way the Michigan Wolverines are playing of late, the Hoosiers are probably not beating them in three weeks. Indiana is clearly better than two grease fires in the division in the Maryland Terrapins and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The shame in it all is the Hoosiers play in the tougher of the two Big Ten divisions.

Overall, the Hoosiers stand a great chance at winning nine games this season, if you count their bowl game. Do they have the talent to do so?

Will they be ranked during the course of the season, and at the end of the year? PFF, which knows the college game well, had Clemson as its preseason No. They have Penn State at No. All four of those teams are on Indiana's schedule this season, with only Penn State coming to Bloomington. Iowa No. Maybe upset is the wrong word, but I guess I get a little disappointed when I don't see Indiana ranked. And here's why. I don't think there's any question that Indiana turned a corner last year, winning eight games for the first time since and being ranked — albeit for just one week — for the first in in 25 years, ending the longest drought in the nation.

Purdue has that now. Ranking teams in often has something to do with 's results, and I'm guessing that a different outcome in the Gator Bowl against Tennessee might have affected perceptions of this Indiana team. Indiana had the Vols beat, and let that game — and an all-important ninth win — slip away late in the fourth quarter. As I said, preseason polls don't mean diddly, but it's always better to be there than not be there, especially out on the recruiting trail.

Tennessee, by the way, is probably getting a boost from that bowl win. The Vols are ranked No. Here's one more "build off a bowl win'' nugget. Tennessee has the No.
