AP Top 25: Indiana Stays At No. 9 In Latest Poll
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – There was a time when the Associated Press poll (and the coaches poll) meant everything to the college football postseason.
The polls once determined the national champion in college football, but with the College Football Playoff, those days are long gone.
The College Football Playoff released its rankings that determined the College Football Playoff bracket on Sunday. Meanwhile, the last AP poll of the regular season was also released.
Indiana stayed in the No. 9 spot. Boise State, champions of the Mountain West Conference jumped above the Hoosiers, but SMU, who lost on a last-second field goal against Clemson in the ACC championship game, dropped below Indiana.
According to collegepolltracker.com, Indiana appeared on all of the 62 ballots this week. Indiana’s range was from No. 6 to No. 13. Andy Yamashita of the Seattle Times had the Hoosiers highest in that sixth spot. The vast majority of the pollsters had Indiana at either No. 8 or No. 9.
Indiana would have to make a long College Football Playoff run to match or best its record finish in the poll. The Hoosiers were No. 4 in the final poll in 1945 and 1967.
Indiana was also ranked ninth in the USA Today coaches poll.
The AP poll began in 1936 and is one of the longest traditions in college football.
Here’s the full AP Top 25.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
