Inside Illini Football Champaign Multimedia Group

The regular season is complete, but Illinois' season isn't. Rare territory
for the Illini, who will play in a bowl game for the first time since
2019. Sports editor Matt Daniels and beat writer Scott Richey discuss that
and Chase Brown's All-Big Ten snub in this week's episode of Inside Illini
Football.

Illinois' chance at a Big Ten West title might be slim, but it's not
nonexistent. A win Saturday at Michigan — the toughest opponent to date —
would keep those hopes alive. Sports editor Matt Daniels and beat writer
Scott Richey discuss that and more in this week's Inside Illini Football.

Was Illinois' loss to Michigan State a disappointment? Sure. Is it the end
of the world? Not so much. The Illini still have plenty to play for.
Sports editor Matt Daniels and beat writer Scott Richey discuss that and
more in this week's Inside Illini Football.

Illinois is now included in both the Associated Press and College Football
Playoff rankings. A seven-win team still trending upward. This is
different. Sports editor Matt Daniels and beat writer Scott Richey break
down the breakout season in this week's Inside Illini Football.

Illinois controls its own destiny when it comes to winning the Big Ten
West, and it would be another first in a season full of them so far for
the Illini. Sports editor Matt Daniels and beat writer Scott Richey
discuss that and more in this week's Inside Illini Football.

Nationally-ranked Illinois will follow this week's bye with a five-game
stretch that will determine how this season is remembered. Bowl
eligibility is secured, but there's plenty more to play for. Sports editor
Matt Daniels and beat writer Scott Richey discuss it all in this week's
Inside Illini Football.
