Hoosier fans spill onto Kirkwood Ave. celebrating the Big Ten title Saturday night in Bloomington.

The Indiana Hoosiers captured the Big Ten Championship for the first time since 1967 Saturday night in Indianapolis.

Fans took to Kirkwood Ave. to celebrate. Police closed portions of streets in the area and restricted parking anticipating the celebrations.

Indiana is the No. 1 team in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll for the first time after going through the regular season and Big Ten championship game 13-0, ending Ohio State’s 14-week run atop the rankings.

Indiana locked up the top seed for their second straight appearance in the 12-team College Football Playoff. The Hoosiers will play the winner of the Alabama at Oklahoma game in the Rose Bowl.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
