JamoRedhead	16	algo is high on illinois, but they pulled out the win over nebraska with some lucky breaks. their matchup in penn state is a sleeper for game of the week (especially considering the 7OT showdown last time they met in state college).

redrumsoxLoL	16	I have been impressed with this team so far, with two ranked wins and dominant victories against Central michigan and fcs E Illinois they could be a surprise playoff contender if they keep it up. Looking at the schedule their case will depend on three games, Penn st, Michigan and Oregon. Win at least one of those and they have a shot.

Due_Connection179	21	Last Week #24 at #21 Nebraska // Won 31 - 24 in OT // Sneaking out wins against Kansas (which now looks worse than what we first thought) and now Nebraska makes moving Illinois up too far a bit questionable, but I do love when underdog schools like Illinois start the season on a nice winning streak.

CallingUagoatUgoat	3	T-1. 0 SP+ T-25 wins. Kansas and Nebraska have dropped out of the SP+ T-25 since playing Illinois, but Illinois still gets some credit for beating two T-25 teams.

throwaway_6786	14	They just missed the rankings last week, but a road win over previously ranked Nebraska combined with a bunch of chaos just above them jumps them way up to #14. We'll see if the Illini can keep up the positive momentum as they play PSU in Happy Valley for the first time since that 9OT debacle.
