Some people were posting here that they would actually be good/better than us this season. Well, after a fairly lifeless effort at Nebby today, they are 2-6, and staring 2-7 in the face...

Brutal start. But to be fair, they have played a tough schedule (at least according to Bart Torvik's methodology): Georgetown (101), Gonzaga (4), Iowa State (14) Xavier (47) and Notre Dame (52). Nebraska is #15. They still have Missouri OOC.

NU has had a much easier path. Indiana is # 28, FSU 63, Tech 88 and everyone else >100. The Illinois AD didn't do Underwood any scheduling favors!

I hear ya, but their Sagarin is lowest in the BIG now, even significantly lower than Rutgers.

Losing games does that.

And Rutgers is going to be a tough out this year. They really play hard.

It’s true - with Illinois’ schedule, we could very well have the same record.

That said, **** Illinois.

Their fans are going to demand the AD’s head if they can’t win in either revenue sport.

Underwood looks like a guy who would go skiing in a 70s era fartbag (one piece ski suit)
