Curt Cignetti does not care where his Hoosiers will be ranked on Tuesday by the CFB Playoff Committee
The Indiana Hoosiers moved up five spots to No. 8 in the latest AP Top 25 Poll, following Saturday's 47-10 win at Michigan State, making it their best start in program history.
Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers have been the talk of college football, as they are 9-0 entering this weekend’s matchup against Michigan.
The Indiana football program began in 1887.

In its first 136 years, the Hoosiers NEVER started a season 9-0.
Now in its 137th year, and Curt Cignetti’s 1st, Indiana is a perfect 9-0.
And all 9 wins have come by at least 14 points.
