[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1433820, member: 26283"] Some fun/depressing numbers because I'm a masochist: From '81 to '95, Illinois was 19-32-3 (.380) against ranked teams and 78-50-2 (.608) against everyone else. From '96 to present, Illinois is 9-72 (.111) against ranked teams and 85-96 (.470) against everyone else. Of the 9 wins over ranked opponents since 1996, four of them were relatively early season wins over teams that only won 6 or 7 games and didn't end the season ranked - '99 over #25 Ohio St. (6-6), '01 over #20 Purdue (6-6), '01 over #25 Ohio St. (7-5) and '11 over #22 Az. St. (6-7). The Most impressive wins for Illinois since 1996 are definitely '99 over Michigan (10-2, #5, won Orange Bowl), '01 over Louisville (11-2, #17, won Liberty Bowl) and '07 over Ohio St. (11-2, #5, lost BCS championship game).
