Welcome to the biggest weekend in college football, a weekend that truly could decide the fate of over 12-15 teams season when it's all said and done.

Indiana is IDLE this weekend but by default could be entering the top 15 or higher in the nation after this insane slate of games gets going starting Friday night when Utah takes on Arizona State in Tempe.

Hoosiers State of Mind wanted to look at potential upsets and matchups that could help IU jump in the rankings when they are released Sunday night and Monday morning. Indiana currently sits at No. 18 in a three way tie with Kansas State who takes on Colorado in Boulder and Oklahoma who takes on rival No. 1 Texas in the "Red River Shooutout" so they are not included in the list.

One other school who lose is Oregon or Ohio State, both are not included because No.2 Ohio State vs No. 3 Oregon play each other and even with a loss both will still remain in the top ten nationally.

Now let's look at the top matchups who could have our Indiana Hoosiers moving on up in the week 8 top 25 rankings.
