Illinois football just wrapped up a historic season—back-to-back bowl wins and a 9-4 record—yet the AP Poll left them out of the top 25, even ranking teams they beat ahead of them. Coach Bret Bielema isn’t holding back, calling out the logic behind the rankings and pushing for more transparency. It’s wild to see the Illini and USC finish with the same record, but only one gets the nod. Is it time for a new way to rank teams, or does tradition still matter most? Curious to hear what everyone thinks about how these polls shape college football. #Sports #Football #IllinoisFootball
