Not sure if this was posted before and (as we tend to favor generic thread titles with sprawling content) difficult to find if so, but here was CBS's ranking of teams in the state of Indiana as of November 7.  It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out in the end.

Quote1. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

As has been the case for a decade now, basically, Indiana's four big programs are all national relevant and plenty interesting. But behind preseason ACC POY pick Bonzie Colson (pictured), Notre Dame's the clearcut choice in the Hoosier State. Colson will go bingo-bango with senior point guard Matt Farrell. The Fighting Irish look to be a little bit better than Purdue, and then there's a solid drop-off before getting to Butler, Indiana and Ball State.

The rest
2. Purdue
3. Butler
4. Indiana
5. Ball State
6. Valparaiso
7. Indiana State
8. Evansville
9. Fort Wayne
10. IUPUI

at IU
That is taken for granted since almost all P5 teams will only play mid-major teams at home.

That was UI worse beating in first game of season since 1914 I believe (score then was 38-18!!!) After watching the Hoosiers in two games they would be a Thursday team at the Lou! But maybe they will improve as the year goes on---the Fightin Illini is almost as bad
