    Following a 38-0 victory over Western Kentucky, Indiana football dropped one spot to No. 5 in the AP poll.

    The four teams ranked ahead of the Hoosiers in the AP poll are, in order: Texas, Georgia, Notre Dame and Ole Miss.

    The Rebels jumped ahead of the Hoosiers following an emotional win over Lane Kiffin and No. 10 LSU Saturday night.

    IU received four first place votes in the AP poll, second behind No. 1 Texas.

    Despite dropping one spot in the AP poll, the Hoosiers remain at No. 4 in the Coaches Poll, behind only Texas, Georgia and Notre Dame.

    Other Big Ten teams ranked in the AP Top 25 include: No. 7 Ohio State, No. 12 USC, No. 13 Penn State, No. 17 Iowa, No. 18 Michigan and No. 20 Oregon.

    Big Ten teams who did not place in the AP poll but received votes include: Washington (107), UCLA (10) and Nebraska (2). Washington did come in at No. 23 in the Coaches Poll.

    Indiana will be back at Memorial Stadium on Friday, Sept. 25 for their Big Ten home opener, as they will welcome in Northwestern, who received four votes in the Coaches Poll. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern and will be televised on FOX.
