in the spring time in NE Indiana you can overseed w/o watering and it will germ, so long as you overseed early (like right now) with a cold weather seed - Just like Augie said, the frost/thaw cycle will take care of moisture and work the seed to depth

If you use a geotex mat, make darn sure you will not be breaking that ground again - it can be a royal pain to remove or deal with if you are tilling, harrowing, dethatching, etc.
