Indiana has made the type of turnaround that had only happened once before at the power-conference level over the last decade.

Indiana Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti has been rewarded for a historic season with an eight-year contract worth an annual average of $8 million.

The signs of success can be found all around Indiana’s campus these days.

Oregon’s dominance in its first year in the Big Ten and Indiana’s monumental turnaround have helped the conference stack four of its teams in the top five of The Associated Press college football poll for the first time.

Justice Ellison ran for 105 yards and two first-half touchdowns and No. 16 Indiana continued its best start in 57 years with a 56-7 rout of Nebraska, matching the Hoosiers’ most lopsided Big Ten win in program history.

The Big Ten kicked off its season with four new teams, five new coaches and 13 schools featuring new starting quarterbacks.
