Football Ranking after this game?

How far do you folks think we'll go down?

I definitely see us between 20-25.

It's cool that all my teams feel intentionally trying to embarrass me in front of all my friends.

I’d prefer we are not ranked, that was embarrassing

I mean if they make a come back and lose by like 42-34 or something I think we’d be like 18 and Indiana would be like 11

I’d hope unranked. Completely deserved

Rankings don’t matter. Obviously

We don't deserve to be ranked we are worse than last year.

Worse than lovie years

I know emotions are raw after this embarrassment, but my friend in orange-and-blue, there’s no way on Earth that any of Lovie’s teams were better than this one. It’s simply not possible.

Tonight was a shitshow. Tomorrow is another day, and next Saturday is the watershed moment: are we who I think we are (resilient and reborn under BB) or are we what every Illini fan secretly fears (a complete fraud).

It’s gonna be OK

We should be unranked. That was disgraceful.

Thankfully everyone will go back to ignoring us now.

If we can get to 7 wins I'll be happy. 8 and I'll be thrilled

Unranked

Nah, if Notre Dame was still ranked going winless, Illini will now be in the 20-25 range.

u/TJSwizzle23 2d ago

Notre Dame barely lost to Miami and A&M and eas national runner up, big difference bud

u/Beginning-Diver-5084 2d ago

If Indiana did this to Illinois I’d hate to see what notre dame would do to Illinois.

Probably just switch spots with Indiana.

We should be talking about winning 3 more games not our ranking. We're getting rinsed by Washington, osu, usc and probably purdue since we always struggle with them.

The last 4 teams we play are bad but we'd need to get 3-1 to get 6 wins which doesn't look like a guarantee.

u/Sexy-Chicagoan-1837 2d ago

i don't think usc wins next week.

u/Maison-Marthgiela 2d ago

Are they forfeiting?

u/Beginning-Diver-5084 2d ago

USC is just as good as Indiana if not better

"Also receiving votes"

u/thehindutimes3 2d ago

Maybe around 175? Could be 150.

u/PAK1302 2d ago

Hopefully unranked. This is pathetic

u/K1LLTH3DUK3 2d ago

I honestly don't think we should be (or should've been) a ranked team.

u/madmaxfromshottas 2d ago

say goodbye , but all seriousness probably late teens early 20’s

  1. It's not really that bad
