Indiana: 2026 Week 7 recap

Indiana remains undefeated at 5–0 and holds the No. 4 rating (26.9) heading into Week 6, though last week's dominant 47–15 road win over Rutgers didn't move the needle in GIE's eyes—the rating held steady. The Hoosiers' late-game leverage performance (4.96) suggests they're executing when it matters, but a red-zone touchdown rate of 18% hints at untapped efficiency in the most critical situations. Next up is a road trip to Nebraska, a matchup that could test Indiana's undefeated run. With a 68% playoff probability and an expected-wins projection of 9.6, the model sees a Big Ten contender, not quite a consensus lock—execution in the red zone and discipline on fourth down will likely determine how far this run extends.
