[Some guy]

How can we be on upset alert when gooherhole told me Illinois is the team to beat

So getting beat by a ranked team on the road is a serious upset?

You don't think they'll storm the field if they beat an unranked MN team that they beat last year?

this is all flattering territory we've never been in. Not even in 2019. either this is a big diss on Illinois or the algorithms + Twitter listicles refuse to sell on the Gophers.

Putting stock into Big Game Boomer is insane. Stop posting their shit.

No kidding. Seems like an odd take

For real though, I would totally expect them to storm the field if they win. Because this is the first time they’ve been ranked in over 10 years and why not celebrate?

That's true. I didn't think of that.

That tells you where the betting is, but betting line reflects the midpoint of bets placed not necessarily reasoned analysis. Illinois is ranked in the top 25 and we’re not ranked. Hard to see how Illinois beating us wound be considered an upset. It is funny how, despite our relative rankings, we are the betting line favorite to win. It’s complicated.

Rankings are based on recent results with a heavy dose of subjectivity. Point spreads are far from perfect but a much better indicator of who the actual better team is. Both the oddsmakers and the computers like us better which are more important than rankings.

It’s not hard to understand their QB is hurt along with other injuries to key players on offense. It’s not complicated at all
