At this point I think they have to win out.
To my knowledge they are the only team in the polls with only 2 losses...
by most standards that would be enough to be the outright #1 team, but because of their status as a mid-major they don't get that kind of love from the pollsters.

Something else to chew on...
IU has a couple of tests and a tourney ahead of them.
If they drop a game (or two) and Gonzaga wins out....
Will the pollsters give them the #1 overall seed?

If Gonzaga wins out and Indiana drops one or even two, I still say Indiana (probably undeservedly) gets the number one overall seed because they are in a BCS conference and arguably the toughest BCS conference in basketball this season. If not Indiana, Duke would get it if they won out.

Basically what I'm saying is I don't think the Zags have much of a shot at the number one overall seed. I don't think it's fair, but that's just the way it is.
