To be fair, a majority of these top 25 rankings that are out right now have not been updated in over a month -- sometimes two months (well before the influx of major talent). At the time of many of these rankings, I think it was generally accepted that the team was constructed as a fringe top 25 team at best. Expect the Illini to show up in the more official preseason rankings that come out before the season.Just the normal lazy journalism we’ve come to expect. The voters are painfully ignorant of most teams they do not cover on a daily basis, or have clear biases fully on display. Ranking teams based solely on returning ppg, etc.
There is a reason why most of these "rankings" are considered "way too early rankings". These rankings in April/May/June should be taken with a large grain of salt.
