BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Tom Allen pushes perspective, not euphoria.
One week in the national football rankings is nice, but not the goal. It's a start, but not an ending.
For the Indiana coach, it's about building a power where there has almost never been one before.
So now that the Hoosiers (7-2) are Top-25 material in the AP and coaches polls, a feat last achieved in 1994. This could soon be the norm and not the exception.
"It doesn't do anything for you on game day other than you have a little number by your name," Allen says.
