Is Illinois and Oversight?

Everyone is talking about the upcoming Michigan – Ohio State game, and, in my opinion, for good reason. If the mighty, mighty Buckeyes are going to fall this season, that is where it will likely happen. Michigan is probably the toughest game they’ll play until they hit the bowls.
Probably.
Because let’s not forget about this week’s game against Illinois. Is Illinois an oversight? Is Ohio State so focused on preparing for the Michigan game that they’ve forgotten to prepare for the Illinois game?
Well, not likely. Last year, Illinois wasn’t so hot, yet they still took Ohio State – who went on to win the National Championship – for a ride in a “close call” game that came down to a single late-fourth-quarter touchdown. This year, Ohio State has just as good of a team as their team last year.
But Illinois had a much better one.
Could this be the week that Ohio State falls?
Let’s just say this: I’m nervous for them.
What do you think – will Ohio State still rank #1 after meeting Illinois on the field?
