Indiana Moves Up to No. 11 in College Football Playoff Rankings
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana checks in at No. 11 in the penultimate College Football Playoff rankings.
The Hoosiers moved up one spot after not playing last weekend because the Old Oaken Bucket game was canceled due to COVID-19 at both Indiana and Purdue.
Ever since the CFP rankings debuted, Indiana was stuck at No. 12 over the last three weeks, even after defeating Wisconsin on the road on Dec. 5.
But multiple teams around Indiana lost this past weekend, so the Hoosiers got to move up one spot.
This will help Indiana's chances at getting a New Year's Six Bowl.
Indiana won't be playing again this weekend due to COVID-19, but Tom Allen hopes the team will be back at practice next Monday, giving the team two weeks of preparation before their bowl game.
Indiana will find out its bowl game on Sunday.
