Indiana coach Curt Cignetti expressed frustration after his team fell from No. 4 to No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings despite not playing in Week 10. Following Indiana's only loss to Ohio State, the teams they defeated all suffered losses that week, affecting strength of schedule evaluations. Cignetti highlighted the CFP committee's emphasis on this metric, pointing to Indiana's opportunity to improve its ranking with upcoming games against No. 18 USC and likely No. 4 UCLA. Indiana is currently 8-1.
