We also beat Rutgers! So you can make an argument that we’re #12. Although they’ve looked like a different team the past two weeks and just need one more win for a bowl.
If we beat Illinois, we’ll be #11. And if we pull off the upset over Purdue, we’ll be 5-7 and potentially in a bowl.
Trying to be an optimist here. Although like many fans it’s hard to get to worked up about this anymore.
