All Things 2025 Playoffs and Bowl Thread

Illinois Def looked pretty weak on TN 1st drive.

Yes they did but good answer by the Fighting Bielemas

Never judge a game until the scripted drives are over

We wanted the music city bowl but it looks damn cold there today.

Tennessee fumbles the kickoff and then proceeds to return it for a TD, up 28-27 with 5 minutes left

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Bad spot there

[Whytetale]

Illini for the win!

 

[MinneNoVA]

SEC. It just means so much less…

 

[MNVCGUY]

Big Ten 1 - SEC 0 as Illinois takes down Tennessee.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Illinois' first back to back bowl wins come on a walk off FG. Both wins against the SEC

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Illinois made me very mad playing for that FG late ... but it did work.

IMO you keep running the ball for the TD.

Gophers are irrelevant … this doesn’t make me feel better actually worse.. do people know the Gophers exist? Beat somebody..

Tennessee would've let them score, and now the ball is out of your hands. I like the chip shot FG for the win and not letting Tennessee get the ball back. I dare say even Denaburg would've made that kick?

Absolutely not.
Run out the clock, kick the chip shot.
Don't give Tennessee the ball back.
In fact...
If I'm Tennessee and Illinois runs it on 1st down at the 6, I let them score.

Bowl results so far:
B1G 6-0
sec 2-5

The only SEC school that is worth a chit academically IMO is Vanderbilt. The SEC can take it's "means more" man-love crap and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

I forgot we are GPA bowl snobs…

Illinois was taking a knee anyway. Instead you run and maybe get a TD ... they were running well.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Well not sure how much this win really counts for the B10 since Illinois was the 7th place team and they beat the 8th place SEC team. Not really a fair matchup. It just means more.

Texas and Florida are both quality schools.
