The Illini didn’t make the cut in the coaches’ poll, finishing second among others receiving votes
You just can’t keep a good team down – especially not after a bunch of college football teams toward the back end of the AP Top 25 have lost.The four that are in: Arizona State at No. 21, Iowa State at 22, UNLV at 23 and, yes, indeed, Illinois at 24.
POLL ALERT: Oregon remains No. 1 in AP Top 25 after close call, Notre Dame and Alabama each jump two spots, Georgia back in top 10.The Illini – coming off a 38-16 win against Michigan State – can stick a feather back in their helmets for being ranked for the first time since the Week 10 poll, when they also were 24th. The highest they’ve been this season was 20th, when they were 6-1. A win Saturday at Rutgers might put them back in the top 20.
The Big Ten continues to dominate toward the top of all polls, with Oregon first, Ohio State second, Penn State fourth and Indiana fifth, according to AP voters and the coaches. Illinois is the only other Big Ten team ranked in either poll.Missouri 56, Memphis 38, Kansas St. 36, Syracuse 21, Louisville 15, Pittsburgh 6, LSU 6, Louisiana-Lafayette 5, Vanderbilt 4, Colorado St. 2, Duke 2, James Madison 2, Georgia Tech 1.
