    That game wasn't as close as the score indicated. The U gave THE OSU a beatdown.

    Not to defend OSU, but I think they are dealing with suspended players for the first 5 or 6 games- first year coach- difficult circumstances with distractions.

    How about the addition of another Big Ten team? While the Illini defense played very well- all things considered-holding ASU to 14 was impressive and recording 6 sacks and the opportunistic 3 turnovers helped the cause. The offense remains a work in progress and a ranking of 24th seems premature. Wouldn't it be something if both Illinois and Wisconsin were unbeaten when they play in November? I think the Badgers could be as they probably have the best backfield in the country. Could shape up to be one of the biggest game in this rivalry since the 1950s- 1951 and 1953 were huge

    I suspect it will get worse for OSU before it gets better. Now we have 6 top notch athletes on the sidelines unable to play. With sanctions coming in the next few years there will be many top notch athletes that would have been Buckeyes deciding to play for Notre Dame, Michigan State, that place up North or other top programs.

    Yes, they'd been in the top 25 since 2004. How often has Illinois been in the top 25 during the same period?

    Less than ten

    But in all fairness, Illinois and OSU have had some memorable games in their rivalry.

    Illinois occasionally has a good year.
    OSU occasionally has a bad year.
    What could be considered a good year for Illinois may be an off year for OSU.

    I don't know what you guys are talking about. I see that OSU is undefeated and ranked #7, a few spots ahead of undefeated USC. Hopefully Oklahoma State and South Carolina will continue to play well this year.
