For the third week in a row, IU football is ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press top 25 poll and the American LBM coaches top 25 poll.
IU defeated Maryland 55-10 on Saturday afternoon at SECU Stadium in College Park, receiving 11 first-place votes in the AP poll for the second week in a row.
In the American LBM coaches poll, the Hoosiers received one first-place vote after receiving zero a week ago.
IU football started the season at No. 19 in the coaches poll and No. 20 in the AP poll. After falling in both polls after week one – a 27-14 win against Old Dominion – the Hoosiers are on the rise.
IU is 9-0 and remains atop the Big Ten standings.
The Hoosiers are 6-0 in conference play with home wins against Illinois, Michigan State and UCLA and road wins at Iowa, Oregon and Maryland.
IU’s remaining regular-season games: at Penn State (Nov. 8), Wisconsin (Nov. 15) and at Purdue (Nov. 28).
The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday at 8 PM ET on ESPN.
Behind a defense that allows 10.8 points per game, third nationally, and an offense that allows 46.4 points per game, first nationally, Indiana has been dominated through the first ten weeks of the 2025 season.
Quarterback Fernando Mendoza has emerged as a strong candidate for the 2025 Heisman Trophy Award. The transfer from Cal has thrown for 2,124 yards and 25 touchdowns with four interceptions.
Curt Cignetti, now 20-2 as IU’s head coach, recently agreed to a new contract worth an average of $11.6 million per year over eight years.
Indiana travels to Penn State this Saturday to take on the Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium. FOX has national coverage starting at noon ET.
