B1G only played an intraconference slate this season. Saying 3 teams are wrecks because they lost to other teams in the B1G isn't exactly getting the whole picture.

Its a done deal?
Still think it's going to be Leipold. Too many things that just fit with Whitman - from personal connection from competing against each other while they were both at Wisconsin schools, to the success he's had everywhere including absolutely dominating at a lower level (like Underwood), to the offense he runs, to the fact that he was be much more affordable than many, and he doesn't give off any vibe he'd ever get Illinois into hot water with the NCAA.
I think you'll see him coach the MAC title game Friday night, where he can tell kids ahead/after the game, and then we'll see an announcement Saturday morning.
And I would have no issues with Leipold to be honest. Like almost anyone from a non-P5 I'd have a concern about recruiting chops, but we need some competence managing the program first and foremost.
I'm always wrong, so take it all with a mountain of salt.
EDIT - (While I was typing this, apparently it's not that much of a take anymore...)

This is likely a good thing. Hopefully this means its a key coach and/or coach and his guys and they don't want to upset the team prior to playing on Sat. Smells like Wake Forrest or Buffalo to me.

No idea how credible that tweet or source is, thought it was worth sharing though.

Florida State was in the first Playoff.
Since 2010, FSU beat Auburn in the BCS National Championship and Clemson has won several CFP.
back to the Illinois coaching search please.

and you almost really need to include ND with the ACC
Turrned down MSU.
I could have included ND, but I thought I would get called out on it.
I am proud of the work NC State has done in the ACC. That being said, that is not why I’m on this board. If I can give analysis on ACC stuff to the benefit of this board I will. But I am not trying to get into arguments about conference superiority.
ILL!
