We lose at home to Minnesota. We can never have nice things as Illinois fans. /s
Nobody lost ahead of us, we won't be moving up much, perhaps at all.
I would possibly add Mizzou as well and maybe idle teams. I think Illinois will be between 18-20.
Alabama did. Too far?
Maybe. It is possible that none of these ranked wins will look good by the end of the year. Michigan and Kansas may not make a bowl game, and Nebraska got exposed today.
The 2007 victory at #1 Ohio State (28-21)
Ohio State was also coaches poll #1 when they came to Champaign in Nov 2015 -- 28-3 loss for Illini. Ohio State was AP #2 and CFP #3 at time.
I remember we’ve had a few teams close to 1 but knew it had been forever since we had a game against an AP #1.
The only one I spotted this year so far was vs Oregon State. It didn't really help the Beavs.

As another poster mentioned, they have only played 1 game at 12:30 local time thus far this season. Last season, they played 4 games with a 12:30 PM Pacific time start and their season opener against Portland State was a Noon Pacific time kickoff, though that wasn't entirely unusual for games being played on the Pac 12 Network.
Huskies v. Ducks is often a more exciting game than expected when talent levels seem uneven (like this year). It’s always circled on the Dawgs’ calendar.This site ranks our game as the second toughest remaining game after the B1G Championship
