What is going on in Bloomington? It seems nearly impossible for Indiana to get a win at this point as they have fallen 6 times in a row and that means they keep falling in both these rankings and the Big Ten standings.

The first loss in week 12 came to Northwestern, then that was followed up by a blowout loss to Michigan who started the game up 17-0. Archie Miller was touted as the savior of this once proud Hoosier program, but in his first two years at the helm he just hasn’t been getting it done.

Rutgers is seemingly getting on a roll as the midway point of the Big Ten schedule. The Scarlet Knights went 2-0 in week two, defeating Nebraska at home Monday, and then getting a road win against Penn State on Saturday.

The middle of the Big Ten standings is unprecedented territory for the Scarlet Knights since joining the Big Ten as they have primarily been the bottom dwellers of the conference.
