Preseason Big Ten poll

Although the Big Ten Conference has not held an official preseason poll since 2010, Cleveland.com has polled sports journalists representing all member schools as a de facto preseason media poll since 2011. For the 2020 poll, Indiana was projected to finish fourth in the East Division. ^[13]

Media poll (East Division)
Predicted finish	Team	Votes (1st place)
1	Ohio State	237 (33)
2	Penn State	204 (1)
3	Michigan	169
4	Indiana	134
5	Michigan State	94
6	Maryland	76
7	Rutgers	38

Schedule

The Hoosiers' 2020 schedule originally consisted of 7 home games and 5 away games; ^[14] however, the Big Ten moved to a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ^{[15] [16]} The Hoosiers were also originally scheduled to play three non-conference games, against Western Kentucky and Ball State at home and on the road against UConn.

The Hoosiers were scheduled to host Penn State, Illinois, Michigan, Maryland and Purdue. They were scheduled to travel to Wisconsin, Ohio State, Minnesota, Rutgers and Michigan State.

The season was canceled on August 11, 2020, ^[5] but announced on September 16 that the decision had been reversed, and that the football season would begin on October 23. ^[17]

On December 9, Purdue and Indiana announced a mutual one-time cancellation of the Old Oaken Bucket game scheduled for December 12 after team-related activities were paused because of an elevated number of coronavirus cases within both the Boilermakers' and Hoosiers' programs. ^[18] On December 13, Purdue and Indiana came to a mutual agreement to reschedule the Old Oaken Bucket game for one week later, on December 18; ^[19] however, on December 15, both teams again mutually agreed to cancel the Friday contest, due to issues remaining on both teams with COVID complications. ^[20]
