It has been a historic season for Indiana<\/a> and coach Curt Cignetti. The Hoosiers, who capped off a perfect 12-0 campaign with a program-first win in the Big Ten Championship Game Saturday night, continued to break new barriers by landing at No. 1 in this week’s Coaches Poll.\u00a0<\/p>\n That means, for the first time, Indiana is the unanimous top team in both major season-long polls. The Hoosiers also claimed the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 poll<\/a>.<\/p>\n Indiana will go for the triple crown once the College Football<\/a> Playoff rankings are released, as the Hoosiers will almost certainly supplant Ohio State<\/a> — the team they beat for the Big Ten title — as the top seed in the bracket.\u00a0<\/p>\n Other championship game results allowed Miami<\/a>, which was idle in Week 15, to climb back into the top 10 of the Coaches Poll for the first time since the week of Oct. 26. That could be a good sign for the Hurricanes, who currently sit on the College Football Playoff bubble.\u00a0<\/p>\n Though they finished the regular season with a 10-2 record, including four-straight double digit wins to close the year, they did not get a chance to compete in the ACC Championship Game. Still, Miami jumped No. 11\u00a0Alabama<\/a> and No. 13 BYU<\/a>, who each suffered lopsided defeats in their respective league title games.\u00a0<\/p>\n First-place votes in parenthesis.<\/p>\n Week 16 Coaches Poll\u00a0Indiana (61)Georgia<\/a> (1)\u00a0 Others Receiving\u00a0Votes:\u00a0Iowa<\/a> 102; North Texas<\/a> 89; Missouri<\/a> 51; Duke<\/a> 43; SMU<\/a> 32; Washington<\/a> 24; Illinois<\/a> 10; Boise State<\/a> 10; TCU<\/a> 9; Pittsburgh<\/a> 9; Arizona State<\/a> 8; South Florida<\/a> 7; Louisville<\/a> 7; Connecticut<\/a> 7; Penn State<\/a> 6; Kennesaw State<\/a> 3; UNLV<\/a> 2; Old Dominion<\/a> 2; Western Michigan<\/a> 1; San Diego State<\/a> 1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images It has been a historic season for Indiana and coach Curt Cignetti.
