Description

Can Illinois crash the College Football Playoff? The Illini are buzzing at #9 in the AP poll, their highest ranking since 2001, but analytics give them just a 14% shot at the playoff. What needs to happen? A miracle against Ohio State is unlikely, meaning they must win *every* other must-win game. Even a 10-2 record with close losses to top teams like USC or Washington could keep their playoff hopes alive. It's a long shot, but with a 20-25% chance, Illinois fans have more hope than they've had in decades.
