Indiana’s resume contains enough high-end moments to inspire confidence, led by a road victory at UCLA, a home knockout of Purdue and a neutral-site win over Marquette alongside solid nonconference scalps of Kansas State and Washington. Those signature wins are counterbalanced by damaging defeats away at Michigan, Michigan State and Kentucky and a concerning home loss to Nebraska that expose inconsistency in hostile environments. With meaningful chances remaining — trips to Illinois and Purdue, a late home test against Michigan State and regular-season games against Northwestern, Minnesota and Ohio State — Indiana can climb with a road victory or two and by avoiding another bad loss, but until it shores up those vulnerabilities its profile lands where it does.
