Indiana has slipped in the College Football Playoff rankings following their first loss of the season.
The Hoosiers are No. 10 in the latest update of the CFP rankings released by the Selection Committee Tuesday evening live on ESPN. They were No. 5 last week prior to a 38-15 loss at Ohio State.
In the bracket, Indiana is the No. 11 seed. They are projected to play at No. 6 Penn State. As a reminder, the top four seeds go to conference champions, which can result in a difference between the rankings and seeds. The full rules are below.
The CFP will release projected rankings and a bracket one more time (Dec. 3) before the final reveal on Dec. 8.
