The Hoosiers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) moved up one spot to No. 4 in US LMB Coaches Poll and two spots to No. 5 in the AP Poll. They received the second-most first place votes (nine) in the coaches poll, but just one first place vote in the AP Poll.
There's a new No. 1 in both rankings with Georgia taking over top spot after a previously unbeaten Texas team lost to Oklahoma. Notre Dame, Miami, Indiana and Ohio State round out the top five in both polls, but the order is slightly different.
The Buckeyes ranked behind IU in the coaches poll at No. 5, but are ahead of the Hoosiers at No. 4 in the AP Poll. The Big Ten's top two teams will face off on Saturday in one of the most anticipated matchups in Indiana football history.
