Their only ranked opponent this season was Oregon, where they narrowly won 17-15 in Week 6.
Illinois, meanwhile, has struggled this season, with their lone ranked opponent defeat coming a loss to Ohio State in late September. However, they are on a four-game winning streak, including a 21-10 victory over Oregon after UCLA. Their offense is led by wide receiver Collin Dixon, who has scored 12 touchdowns this season, and their defense has allowed an average of 131.2 yards per game.
