The Illinois football team is coming off a tough loss against the No. 1 team in the nation, Ohio State.
Most people breathing thought that the Buckeyes would take out the Illini. They were double-digit favorites, and some costly turnovers throughout the game sealed Illinois’ fate.
The newest AP Top 25 poll didn’t take too kindly to the Illini loss. Coming into the weekend, Illinois was the No. 17 team in the nation. A loss to the top team in the country shouldn’t move us too far down, but that didn’t end up being the case.
