Indiana is the Biggest Winner in ESPN FPI's Update Following Week 4

There wasn't a whole lot not to like from Indiana's total destruction of previously No. 9 Illinois on Saturday, as the Hoosiers rolled the Illini 63-10. The win marked the highest point total by a Big Ten team ever against a team ranked in the top 10.

It's impossible to have watched Saturday night's blowout and not walk away entirely impressed by the Indiana operation. You can expect to see the Hoosiers soar up the AP and Coaches Polls on Sunday, but some computer rankings are freshly updated and also giving the Hoosiers a load of love.

ESPN's Football Power Index was updated on Sunday morning and saw Indiana move up 10 spots to No. 6. The outlet also now gives Indiana a 14.8% chance to win the Big Ten, up significantly from a week ago.

What's also interesting is how much Indiana's dominating victory over Illinois shifted how the Hoosiers are seen in their remaining game, as their chances at victory have soared in all according to the formula, and they're now seen as a favorite over one of the nation's top-ranked teams.

Nick Shepkowski's Quick Takeaway:

The numbers to win the Big Ten are eye-opening, and being more than a 50% pick to make the College Football Playoff is great, but the most surprising thing to me is that Indiana is now seen as a favorite over Penn State in Happy Valley.

You want the arrival of a program to be made official? Penn State was a popular preseason pick as the nation's No. 1, it hasn't lost a game yet (although it hasn't played anyone, either), and the computer now picks the Hoosiers to win that road game.

Obviously, the blowouts increase Indiana's stats that go into building this, but caliber of opponent is also included. It's also worth noting that this system had Indiana as a fairly large favorite against Illinois this past weekend, despite a lot of national experts leaning the way of the Illini.
