The Illinois Fighting Illini are bowl eligible. If you, like me, had that on your 2022 college football bingo card please stand up. Now if you have them reaching bowl eligibility in their seventh game of the season, stay standing, and everyone else sit down.
Is there anyone left standing? No? I didn’t imagine there would be. What Illinois has done so far this season has been shocking, they’re 6-1 on the season and realistically should be 7-0 if not for a terrible missed call against Indiana that took seven points off the board.
After a 26-14 win against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, it is time to accept the truth.
