Which Big Ten Powerhouses Are Poised to Crash the College Football Playoff Once More?
5. Indiana
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 2nd
One scary thing: Hitting on a transfer portal QB two years in a row isn’t easy. With Kurtis Rourke gone, former Cal quarterback Fernando Mendoza steps in. Mendoza is solid but will make a big step up in competition quality, and he’ll have to play well to avert noticeable drop-off at the most important position.
One exciting thing: The offensive line was already good (fifth in the Big Ten in run disruption rate/first in pressure rate allowed) and has a chance to be even better with gobs of starting experience and a big-time transfer in center Pat Coogan from Notre Dame.
