Think this will be a fun team to watch. PG by committee may have its ups and downs. Not expecting them to overtake the favorites (Purdue & MSU), but I think they'll make noise in the top-25 and play hard.

Somewhat interesting. Not a very insightful analysis of the Illini.

Purdue #1
USC #10 [soon to be big10]
MSU #11
FAU #15 [a foe]
Illinois #18
Maryland #23

no other big 10 teams in the top 30.

Other foes
Marquette #2
Tennessee #12
Mizzery #35

Received an email from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis stating that tickets for the Braggin Rights game go on sale to the general public this Thursday, October 26, at 10 AM.
Where can we buy these? I donā€™t see a link listed on either Illinois or mizzou schedule website.

We went 17-2 at home last year (and we all know about last year...). Only a very small handful of P5 teams with a better record.

I'd guess 39-7 in the last 3 years would be a top 10 (possibly top 5) home record among P5 teams.

Think we're asking for a lot to improve on that and it's a huge stretch to act like the current results are subpar. We play in the B1G, we're going to lose a couple at home.

Looks like since 2020, our home win% is 2nd in the B1G, 12th among P5, and 42nd in D1.

So right outside top 10, a hair lower than I expected. Should we strive for #1? Sure. But #12 in P5 and #2 in conference is pretty damn good.
