let's be honest... Syracuse is awful, Western Illinois is a decent I-AA team, but not that good, and Indiana is barely average Illinois in the 1st game of the year went on the road, lost their starting qb, and nearly beat the now #17 team in the country. They went on the road and beat a Syracuse team who has since beat Louisville, who was ranked at the time. They also beat the #21 team in the country, Penn State. I see no reason why they dont have as good of case as the teams currently ranked 23-25. Oh well when we beat Wisconsin this week by 3, they will be ranked.
