Indiana football checked in at No. 10 in The Associated Press’ final top 25 poll of the 2024 season released Tuesday. The Hoosiers were ranked in 12 of the 17 polls released throughout the 2024 season and peaked at No. 5.
In his first season at the helm, head coach Curt Cignetti guided Indiana to a program-record 11 wins, including blowout victories over Michigan State and Purdue to recapture the Old Brass Spittoon and the Old Oaken Bucket.
The Hoosiers backed up Cignetti, who dazzled with confidence throughout last offseason, on the gridiron immediately. The Cream and Crimson began the season with nine consecutive double-digit victories, including blowout wins over UCLA on Sept. 14 and Nebraska on Oct. 19.
Indiana’s lone regular season loss came to Ohio State — the eventual national champions — on Nov. 23. The Hoosiers then defeated the Boilermakers, finishing 11-2 to secure their first College Football Playoff berth.
In the CFP First Round, Indiana faced off against the University of Notre Dame at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana. Despite trailing by 24 points in the fourth quarter, the Hoosiers scored a pair of late-game touchdowns as they fell by 10 to the eventual runners-up.
Indiana fans sold out Memorial Stadium the final four home games — the most since 1969 — which matched the total from 2016-23.
Tuesday marks just the seventh time the Hoosiers have been ranked in the AP Top 25 at the end of the season. At No. 10, Indiana finished at its highest since it was No. 4 in 1967.
