I believe the Vegas over/under is 5.5 so they expect another year right on the edge of bowl eligibility. For reference last year I believe it was 6.5.

Seems like Saturday's game is the biggest for this program in years so hopefully script whites for the next game

I think they are the first 5-7 team to get in if there aren't enough eligible teams due to their high APR score

Not getting the studio show live from Grange Grove would be a travesty, but typical Illinois disrespect. I hope Bielema would use it as motivation

Hope we come out amped out for this one after watching Big Noon showcase Champaign and Grange Grove for 2 hours. I think deferring and getting the defense on the field first and coming up with a big stop would be a great way to start the game.

Anyone know for sure what uniform combo we are wearing today? I saw the orange helmets but what jersey?

Seems to me that if Ohio St were to go to the orange bowl then that would probably bump us down to Nashville? Seems that the Reliaquest bowl can't pick a B1G team if a B1G team goes to the orange bowl?

I wonder why the DIA hasn't tried a promotion towards increasing the season ticket base. Maybe something like buying a ticket for the Purdue game and having half of it go towards a deposit for tickets for next season. I think a lot of people would jump aboard that and want to get in on the very...

I wouldn't be surprised if two of the Vegas underdogs win outright. I'm thinking UNC and ISU

I don't think this is technically a Krush game since classes don't start until the next day but I do believe Krush had first dibs on buying tickets like the other break games. I would imagine a lot of them will be back on campus for the game though.

I'm never one to root for conference pride in the post season, especially when Michigan and Ohio State are concerned so seeing some of the lower tier teams from the B1G win and UM and hopefully tOSU can both go out and lose.

Iowa's key to victory sure seems to be forcing turnovers. I think if you can somehow win the turnover battle against them you should stand a chance to win.

Think this one will come down to turnovers. If we win the turnover battle, especially if it is a wet field, then we should win but if we lose a few then a lose can very easily happen. Think in the end this will be a close win. Also a couple of the guys on College Gameday picked UTSA as their...

I would guess only for new season ticket holders yes, since they let people roll over their payments from last year due to no fans.

Minnesota making it a bit closer of a game
