Almost identical score to Michigan's game yesterday.
I think it's for real - because it's the WAY they are doing it........Bielema is Coach Of The year if they go 9-3 or better and they look like they will. He is going to really improve his recruiting off of this too.
Their only loss was to a terrible Indiana team. Illinois is 4 points shy of being 8-0 and probably ranked about #8 or #9 in the country. Seemed like nobody from the West wanted it this year.
Who would have thought that the Illinois-Purdue game in 2 weeks would probably be the deciding game in that division. If they win the next 2 they could be in the Top 10 when they get to Ann Arbor. Tennessee controls their destiny next week vs. GA. Kansas State still has a shot the Big 12 and UCLA is very much in the running in the Pac 12. I love seeing some new blood. Someone else please beat Alabama, as much as I hate Brian Kelly and Lane Kiffin, I'm sick of Saban. I would also love to see North Carolina beat Clemson so we don't have to tolerate Swinney through the holidays.
Could you imagine a final 4 of
Michigan
Tennessee
TCU
UCLA or Utah
Could very well happen. Someone is going to beat Oregon before this season ends.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves, right. Field Goals instead of Touchdowns and you aren't beating Ohio State.....or maybe even Illinois. They've got a very dangerous Rutgers team on the road next week (that'll be how they market it all week).
