Beating Penn State was enough to keep Indiana up in the teens of the AP and Coaches polls this week.
Jan 23, 2012 - The Syracuse Orange were the biggest losers in the newest NCAA Ranking Polls after losing to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday. Cuse fell from being the consensus number one school in both polls to third in the AP poll and fourth in the Coaches poll after the bad loss to the Irish knocked their record down to 20-1. The big winners of that loss were the Kentucky Wildcats, who got pushed up to number one in Syracuse's stead on both polls.
Baylor also suffered, going from second on both polls to sixth in the AP and seventh in the Coaches poll after suffering their first two losses of the season to Kansas and Missouri in the last week. After a good week, Ohio State were able to keep a high profile at fourth in the AP poll and third in the coaches polls.The only remaining undefeated team, Murray State stayed hovering around the Top 10, where they'll likely remain until they get some more major wins on their resume.
The Indiana Hoosiers remained in the top 25 again after finally getting another win to boost their record to 16-4. Despite having lost several games in a row, the win over Penn State was enough to keep them afloat at 16th in the AP poll and 17th in the coaches. Though down from the 11th place slot they occupied last week it's a spot they can quickly regain with some regaining of form in Big 10 play.
Louisville barely were able to hold onto a spot in the Coaches poll, where they currently sit 24th. They were completely removed from the AP Poll in favor of Wisconsin, though they still were able to gather 35 votes.
