Let's get to the point: This is a huge week for the Buckeyes. In fact, this is a huge next 6-7 games for Ohio State with Indiana and Michigan to close out the regular season and then a possible Big Ten Championship game followed up by the inaugural 12-team CFP.
But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, OSU hosts undefeated Indiana on Saturday, Ohio State's third top-five matchup of the season. With that, I give you This Week's Question: What concerns you most about the undefeated and new-look Hoosiers heading into Saturday's showdown in Columbus?
First-year Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti doesn't seem worried about the Buckeyes. At least he wasn't last December when he was introduced to the Hoosier fans at an IU basketball game.

"Hey look, I'm super fired up about this opportunity," Cignetti said while standing at midcourt of Assembly Hall. "I've never taken a back seat to anybody and don't plan on starting now. Purdue sucks ... but so does Michigan and Ohio State. Go IU!"
That was likely a way to rile up Indiana fans and gain their support immediately, but I hope that video clip is on repeat inside the WHAC this entire week.
