    After a historic 2024 season, Indiana football is living in a bigger spotlight.

    The Hoosiers are ranked No. 20 in the preseason AP Poll entering 2025. They checked in at No. 19 in the Coaches Poll last week.

    IU began last year unranked, but cracked the polls in week five after defeating Charlotte. The team finished the season No. 10 in the final AP Poll after reaching the College Football Playoff. This is the program’s first preseason AP Poll ranking since 2021.

    Indiana opens the year against Old Dominion on Saturday, August 30 at 2:30 p.m. in Bloomington.
