Yet the story is all about FAU…
I've been wondering what the coverage will be like when we make our first S16 since '05.
It will be slightly embarrassing for us to have to keep hearing about, but it's one of those things that garners national media attention of the "this seems like the year, something special is brewing, BU has worked his magic in reviving this storied program, etc." type.
S16 is sooo critical this year for perception of the program IMO.
So you're saying Decodo is one?
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone.
Merry Christmas and a highly ranked new year
Seth Davis & Goodman each gave us at #6
That’s quite a few voters slotting us in the top 10. A top 10 Illini for an afternoon Christmas gift is looking likely!

Let it be all about them.
Dude, they just beat Arizona in a sick double OT game. They earned that story.
Yes but we beat them. However I think our story will come eventually. Just got to be patient.

I think it is important to remember that polls are subjective.
Be comfortable in the fact the we have one of the best teams in the country. We can play with any team on any day.
Happy Holidays to all who lurk here. It is a special place for me, as I have no physically real Illini fan friends.
Go Illini.

And when we beat them, we were the story. It's very fair to have FAU be the story after a big win. I truly do not understand the consternation here.

...... then add what fans get to feel, recruits see, and what potential transfers see.
Rankings do matter !
Only 1 team gets to celebrate at the end, the rest get to enjoy the ride
That last part is so true. I’ll always remember 2005, even if it didn’t end like we wanted. The journey matters.
The low hanging fruit is actually the anatomy directly adjacent to his namesake.

Ranked 21 is a joke. This poll thinking of last year’s team.We are a top 10 team. Merry Christmas.
