We need to win these, but depending on Lincoln Riley?

Illinois 17, Tennessee 14.

This is a big game for bragging rights between the two conferences. They both have the same record of 8-4.

Just tuning in, come on Illinois put the SEC in their place.

Oof, Illinois special teams disaster. Gave up a punt return for a TD to give the lead to Tennessee.

Mario needs to take some lesson on game management from Illinois.

Walk-off chip shot field goal for the I/B1G win.

Illinois wins 30-28 on a walk-off field goal! So WHERE is that SEC depth?

Both teams were 8-4 going into this, and a superb Big-10 win. Tough in the trenches!

Illini Win! Down goes the SEC to the B1G!

Honestly without the optouts Tennessee is the better team, but their coach was crap. ILLINI played 3DBs 15 yards or more back from scrimmage and Tennessee kept trying to pass until deep into the 3rd quarter. THEN they started running the ball and came back.

Do I really have to root for SC? Maybe letting the Big 12 have one wouldn't be too bad.

Fattest coach won…I think.

Now USC needs to not pull a Tennessee against TCU. Their two star WRs opted out.

TCU with the backup QB should even out the out scale.

The Alamo Bowl crowd is looking kind of sparse. I’ve been to a couple of these games and it’s always been packed. Especially with the USAF basic trainees taking up a section or two. I always thought this was one of the better non-BCS bowl games.
