Indiana has been up and down already this season but has gotten out to a strong 5-1 start with the only loss coming to Arkansas and a top 25 win coming against Marquette. The Hoosiers’ last two games have been a bit shaky though as they let Texas Arlington and UC Davis hang around a little too long for comfort.

Still, expect Archie Miller to have Indiana looking like a formidable opponent come Big Ten season.

Northwestern is 5-1 with a pretty lackluster schedule so far and that is why they find themselves toward the bottom of this list. The Wildcats went 2-1 in this past week with a questionable loss to Fresno State but a huge blow out win over Utah.

Chris Collins is one of the most underrated coaches in the conference and the country though, so while the Wildcats might struggle at times in what looks to be a good year for the Big Ten they will not be a push over.
