A lot of good games that week unfortunately but you never know. If Michigan loses to USC tomorrow then you can pretty much forget about that.
Illinois at Penn State, Saturday, September 28th

Is it time to start dreaming about a playoff spot?
I don’t think the B1G has a deal with ABC. I know we don’t have ESPN, but maybe ABC somehow?

We’ll never be on game day - B1G has no deal with ESPN. FOX’s Big Noon would be our equivalent I guess.GameDay anyone?

That didn't stop them from going to the Big House a couple weeks ago...
While B1G had no agreement with Disney for games, nothing stops them from doing these broadcasts on location.
Interesting… I stand corrected, but I’m also guessing it was against Texas and ESPN coverage was UT biased.
Winning 3 straight in Lincoln is insane. Now let's start a streak in Happy Valley too. Better pull out the slant Illinois helmets again.

Is 8-4 now the floor?
Say you lose to Penn St & Oregon, but you beat Purdue & Northwestern.
To go 8-4, you just need to split:
Michigan
Minnesota
Michigan St
@Rutgers
Very doable.

Not just yet, I feel. If we come out of Happy Valley victorious, then that starts to become a bit more realistic.
I hope the team (and us fans) continue to just stay hungry and take it one game at a time. Enjoy this ride!

Should be a battle of two Top 20 teams. I'll guess perhaps #9 vs #19.

I would be shocked if this game is not on NBC. It has big game written all over it now.

Texas is a SEC team, so that’s why ESECPN was there.

I was also thinking 8-4 was the floor, but I ran it through my Illini PTSD filter and out came 7-5.

does this game now become one they will do a “white out “ ?
7-5 is still good. Will get you a decent bowl game.I was also thinking 8-4 was the floor, but I ran it through my Illini PTSD filter and out came 7-5.

So if we somehow win this game, should just go ahead and start on the Bielema statue?

That is not the way College Gameday works. The B1G did not have an agreement with Disney last year, and yet, Gameday went to the Big House for The Game last November.
Gameday goes where the hype is, regardless of broadcast network affiliation of the conference.
No, but you can order the extra bronze.
Thanks for the clarification. It probably means they look for some conference diversity.
So your Illini PTSD filter doesn’t have a Steve Lanter option?I was also thinking 8-4 was the floor, but I ran it through my Illini PTSD filter and out came 7-5.
Speaking of Gameday - they just did a piece on Buying or Selling undefeated teams outside the top 6. Included just about everyone (including Wash St. who also played last night) except us. Kind of felt like a slap to be left out at 4-0, unless they plan to have a dedicated piece on the Illini later in the show.
