thinking about an Illini conference championship

Wouldn't it be sweet to win the first ever Big Ten Championship game? That's something that can never be taken away.

To even play in the game will be a huge challenge as the #4 team in the country stands in our way. If you look at Wisconsin's schedule, I don't see a game they lose. Which means:

1. Illinois has to beat Wisconsin.
2. Since that must happen, Wisconsin would have one loss. Since Illinois would own the tiebreaker, they can afford another loss.

Ohio State, @Purdue, @Penn State, and Michigan are all tough games, Michigan being the hardest. But Illinois only has to win 3 of them.

Because Michigan is in the other division, they don't really matter. They could lose to Michigan State or Nebraska or they could go undefeated. But it doesn't affect Illinois.
