Cignetti’s Defending Champs Get Snubbed | Indiana Hoosiers Football News

Curt Cignetti’s bold promise to win—and his proven track record—has turned Indiana into a college football force, culminating in a national title after a perfect 15-0 season. Yet, despite being defending champs, the Hoosiers are ranked sixth in the AP Poll—a shocking snub fueled by losing their Heisman QB and key players. But don’t count them out: they’ve landed the eighth-ranked transfer class, bolstered by NIL deals, and advanced metrics actually rank them higher than the poll suggests. History shows defending champs rarely sink this low, and with Cignetti’s fire, Indiana might just turn this disrespect into fuel for another championship run.
