Lefunnymaymays4lief 6 Duke is a decent at worst team and game was competitive for 45 minutes but this was a popular upset pick and Illinois put that to bed on the road. Sleep on them at your own peril

Luigiatl 8 Illinois gets the big win! The scoreline might flatter the Illini a bit, but there's no denying that this is a solid, well-coached team. In the Big Ten, I would put Ohio State up top, Penn State and Oregon duking it out for second & third, and then Illinois, before quality gets a lot less consistent with still relatively unproven USC and Indiana teams.

RowDull8230 10 Illinois will move up simply because they dominated Duke. But will this win look good at the end of the season? Obviously, we have no idea. In the meantime, Illinois boatraced Duke in the second half and I think they need to keep the retro word-mark helmets. Those things gave me Juice Williams vibes that I sorely missed.
