The college football landscape saw a significant shift after Indiana secured a remarkable victory against Oregon, leading to their entry in the AP Top 25 rankings. Previously, Oregon had been a strong contender along with teams like Ohio State and Miami. Their unexpected loss places Indiana in the spotlight for the ‘best team in the country’ debate.

Indiana, under head coach Curt Cignetti, has showcased tremendous growth throughout the season, and their recent triumph at Autzen Stadium has changed perceptions. The win is historic; it marks Indiana’s first victory against an AP top-five opponent on the road in 46 attempts, likely securing their top-five ranking after this noteworthy win.

As the college football rankings evolve week by week, this week’s AP Top 25 projections promise to reflect ISA’s newfound status while Oregon grapples with the aftermath of their defeat.
