2015 Record: 6-7
Projected 2016 Record: 8-4
Circle the date: Oct. 1 vs. Michigan State
Bowl trip: Foster Farms
Why No. 50: Let’s start with the “save the coach’s job-type schedule.” The nonconference games offer hope for a 3-0 start, though Ron Turner’s Florida International team won’t be a pushover when it hosts the Hoosiers in the opener. Indiana could get bruised at the start of the Big Ten season with games against Michigan State and Ohio State, but late games against Maryland, Rutgers and Purdue should mean a strong finish.
