Illinois football enters Saturday as a double-digit underdog against Ohio State, but thankfully, the game isn't played according to the betting odds.
The Illinois football team awaits the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday with the No. 17 ranking in the country.
To put things in perspective, the Illini have only been ranked in three out of the last 14 seasons of football. With that being said, those three seasons have come in the last four campaigns under Bret Bielema.
