Illinois #9 in 1/1 AP Poll
- Status
I’m predicting that we stay at #9 today in both polls with outside chance of moving to #8 (Marquettes loss). Destroyed NW and barely lost on road to #1.
That Northwestern win over MSU yesterday certainly helped bolster our case.

I'm not sure who would move past us. Colorado State and BYU just lost, Oklahoma didn't beat anyone notable enough to move past us, and Duke barely got past a bad Notre Dame team. Even with the loss to Purdue, I could see us moving past Marquette with such a dominant performance against NU. I'd be shocked if we dropped.
It's all going to depend on how meatball confirmation bias the voters get with us. We shouldn't drop, but I wouldn't be overly shocked if we fell to the early or mid teens, especially if the voters watched the first 8 minutes of the Illinois Purdue game rather than the final 8 minutes.

I might guess that many voters were just waiting for the "shoe to drop" after losing their All American. I wouldn't be surprised if many drop them pretty far, even though it's about as justifiable as a loss as you could have.

We were 5 votes ahead of Arizona. They’ll for sure pass. Good chance Oklahoma does as well.
Marquette had 200 votes on us. Don’t see us passing them.
I see 11.
Totally missed Arizona. They should pass us.
