Can Indiana Defy Expectations and Surpass the 8.5 Win Total in a Fierce Big Ten Showdown?

As the 2025 college football season looms on the horizon, Circa Sportsbook has dropped their win totals for all the major conference teams — and, boy, it’s stirring up quite the buzz. Fresh off their historic run to an 11-win season, the Indiana Hoosiers are sitting pretty with an 8.5 win over/under, matching one of college football’s giants, Michigan, and trailing only behind heavyweights like Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State within the Big Ten pecking order. It’s fascinating to see how these numbers stack up, especially considering the Hoosiers’ slate includes stiff tests against multiple preseason top 25 squads. Indiana’s 2025 kickoff against Old Dominion sets the tone, but their true measure will come in battles across the conference — trips to Penn State and Oregon included — that’ll truly test whether they can keep the magic alive.
