There’s been a lot of talk about the Illini this year. But are they actually good?
In the next week or two, I want to explore this. As we put a bow on this season, I want to answer this question for all of us. Looking forward to next season, this should be a good baseline.
This one is going to be a short analysis and I want to focus on a few numbers: ELS, GLS, and ALS.
ELS counts expected losses that elite teams, two standard deviations above average would have against Illinois' schedule. GLS counts expected losses for good teams, one standard deviation above average.
