The pre season most overrated Bowl winner this year is Illinois.  That’s a bad omen for the big IU win at home vs Illinois….and it’s realistic chance vs Oregon.

Illinois is a very good team. OSU getting suspect calls. Is a big driver in this game

IDK...Texas and Penn St have to be at least as overrated as Illinois if not more.

Well, let's hope they don't improve too much!  Lol. 

Nobody has any film on them.  Hopefully that changes things

OSU benefiting from another highly questionable call.  
 

Have all their games been like this?

It was 35 to 10 going into half. Take away that busted coverage and it's 35 IU 3 UI going into half.  

20 O$U 3 UI going into half. And UI has been shooting themselves in the foot. Credit O$U for those mistakes but IUFB is good and has a realistic chance against any FBS football team on the planet.

No clue but #1 is getting all kinds of lucky non-calls.  It's tough to watch. I don't even understand DPI anymore.

It’s like holding they call it when they feel like.  

[Lebowski]

Brutal to watch man.

Illinois is like watching past 4 and 5 win IU teams.

Getting the benefit of ref calls that can favor the direction of a game traditionally happens more times than not for traditional elite programs.  However, those are the better teams and are probably going to win anyway a very large percentage of the time which they do.

UCLA, oh man, they're playing some good football right now.  

And Michigan St looks not so good. That bodes well for next week.

Sparty might not win a game in the B1G.

That UCLA job might not come open.

Ok so if they are better and are going anyway why the need to repeatedly hose the other team.

If Illinois can get a stop this can turn into a game

Didn’t say they did need to cheat the other team but it is reality ever how much…sometimes even ever so slightly that creates a little edge for the traditional elite teams.
