BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football dropped two spots to No. 21 in the latest US LMB Coaches Poll after a 27-14 win over Old Dominion.
Four teams in the top 25 lost last week (Texas, Notre Dame, Clemson and Alabama), but all of them remained above the Hoosiers while Florida State and Iowa State moved past them in the rankings. The only matchup between ranked teams this weekend is No. 13 Michigan vs. No. 24 Oklahoma.
