The Hoosiers are still the only unbeaten team in the land, and at 16-0, nobody is close to knocking them off the perch. Indiana held firm at No. 1 for another week, and the gap between them and the field only seems to be widening.
The real story is what happened directly behind them. The Hurricanes rocketed from No. 10 all the way to No. 2 — the biggest jump inside the top 25 — turning a respectable 13-3 start into a legitimate contender's résumé. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs plummeted from No. 2 to No. 6, and the Sooners slid from No. 8 to No. 13, reshuffling the entire middle of the front nine.
Three new entrants crashed the party: the Hawkeyes at No. 17, the Cougars at No. 22, and the Horned Frogs at No. 25. The poll says the road to the title still runs through Indiana, but Miami just made it clear they intend to be standing at the other end.
