9. Indiana

Pat Lovell-USA TODAY Sports

Last year: 5-7 (3-5)

This Week: vs. Indiana State (Aug 30 – 11 A.M. on ESPNEWS)

My Prediction: Indiana 63-27

Its all offense in Indiana.

Even with the loss of some playmakers, the Hoosiers should be able to re-stock on that side of the ball.

Wide receiver Shane Wynn is already proven and running back Tevin Coleman may be the most underrated player in the league.

However, the defense has been atrocious and its kept Indiana from going bowling.

Wilson brought in some help to fix that side of the ball but that appears to be a “process”.

Every team on Indiana’s schedule should take the Hoosiers seriously as the team is capable of pulling an upset or two.

Until that defense improves (if it ever does), they’ll will be in the back half of the conference.
