I remember how poorly we finished last year. I also saw kenpom has us projected to win three games in conference. It's crazy to think that at this point. KenPom predicts that Illinois goes 9-9 in conference, despite that they'll only be favorites in 6 games. Thus the penalty for having 1 game against PSU and no home games against MSU or Iowa. On the plus side, they don't go to Bloomington this year. Jesus, that's not at all what someone posted on Illinois loyalty. They had us favored in only 3 big games. Yeah, they're favored in both games against Nebraska and NW, and home games against PSU and Purdue. Very slight underdogs at Purdue and Iowa, and very slight underdogs at home to Wisconsin (who is probably overvalued in KP due to their blowing out everyone who isn't their equal), Minnesota, Michigan and OSU. Heavier underdogs vs IU and at Michigan, OSU, Minnesota, and MSU. So, on average, they win the favored games and split the toss-ups.
