My bold prediction: Kansas upsets BYU tonight, beats Colorado next week, and closes season with win @Baylor to get bowl eligible. They have so many close losses, but they are still a dangerous team.

They’re having a 2002 Illinois season.
I like your boldness. I stepped out on a limb a while back saying they should circle iowa state. Most seemed to disagree.
Hell, I’ll ride that prediction with you. Let’s go!
Not sure if it’ll be needed but if ku wins out it makes illini resume more impressive.
Washington St. goes down...
Kansas wins in Provo, upsetting #6 and previously undefeated BYU 17-13.

Is the improbable cascade of absurd events that would put Illinois in the 12 team playoff still in check? Or has our 6% chance dipped a bit?
The Ducks got away with a awful failed fake kick when they could have gone up 19-13. But no. Honestly nothing egregious. Wisconsin's defense did their part and with any kind of offense they probably win the game. They barely moved the ball in the 2nd half.
That loss to Minny really sealed our fate unfortunately.
Only one maybe was Wisconsin looked to actually get a first down late in the fourth that was waved off by cop block call that on replay wasn't there. Backed them up to third and long and killed their drive

Oh, I know. But even after that loss, we still had a 6% chance listed. and I wondered what crazy chain of events would be required for that to pay off.
I still am of the opinion that whoever created that algorithm either accidentally mistook .06% for 6% or has a jacked up algorithm that people shouldn't put any actual credence in. Even at 9-3 we just don't have the win quality to get us into the CFP as a 3 loss team. When there's no historical record of a 9-3 team with our potential resume making the CFP, 6% is still way too big a number.

Poor choice by Regge Love/PU.......Purdont hosed again..
Yeah. We haven't beaten a team with a winning record. Next weekend will likely be our only chance
Certainly a pretty ugly win. It will be nice to get a bye week before the UDub game. Perhaps get Burch and Tez Johnson back before the taildraggers come to town. After 8 weeks without a bye and three of those a couple time zones to the east it will be nice to be at home for a while.
