Illinois defense seems to be much worse than a year ago

 

[LandoComando]

21-7

Kansas just needed to make sure they had enough time to score again

I’m not sure why any PSU fan would be happy about Illinois losing to Kansas…does us no good whatsoever.

Who is happy about it? It's horrible for us but also what happens when people on this board pretend horrible teams on our schedule are good. Which also isn't productive.

 

[LandoComando]

Let's just hope Iowa wins today. Our weak schedule can't take many more hits.

Do you think the “weak” schedule will hurt OSU and Michigan?

I see that, but not when it hurts us.

Ohio State has ND to offset that
Michigan is in the same boat as us.

And it won’t hurt Michigan at all.

It will if they're going against Bama for the final playoff spot.
Penn State and Michigan can't afford to be in a battle with anyone with a legit non-conference schedule for a playoff pot. We have to schdeule better. Although you're welcome to continue to pretend WVU (who's projected to win 4-5 games0 is a good team. We'll see what the committee thinks.

If Bama has one loss, they’re in regardless of schedule. The only teams that have a chance to get in ahead of a one loss Bama are undefeated P5 teams and a one loss SEC champ. Bama’s schedule doesn’t matter.

Replace them with FSU because of the LSU win over the garbage Michigan plays.

Replace them with FSU because of the LSU win over the garbage Michigan plays.

FSU only gets in over Michigan if they win the ACC and they’re undefeated.

 

[LandoComando]

FSU only gets in over Michigan if they win the ACC and they’re undefeated.

Let's see if both have a loss.
Weak schedules matter and will even more so when it goes to 12 and the Big Ten gets 3-4 bids.

Three members of the Illinois secondary from last year are playing in the NFL. The replacements are good players but they're still getting their feet on the ground, so PSU should have an advantage there.

Illinois also lost all -B1G running back Chase Brown and center Alex Pihlstrom.

I doubt PSU is feeling overconfident as plenty of players saw Illinois beat PSU 2 years ago. In terms of athletic talent, there's just no comparison between Illinois and who PSU has played so far this year.
