BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football ranked No. 20 in the preseason top 25 AP Poll released on Monday afternoon.

It's only the fourth time in program history the Hoosiers made the top 25 in the AP's preseason rankings.

Indiana ranked as high as No. 5 in 2024 — the program's highest ranking since 1945 — and spent five weeks in the top 10. The Hoosiers closed out the season as the No. 9 ranked team in the country after losing in the first-round of the College Football Playoff to Notre Dame.
