TCU's season has been an insane rollercoaster after a couple walkovers, a reasonably secure win over SMU, and a blowout of Oklahoma (6-6 entering bowl season but 20th in SP+, FWIW) to begin the season. Since: Kansas: TCU is outgained by about 100 yards despite the exit of Kansas starting QB Jalon Daniels and gets a go-ahead TD with a minute left. Okie State: TCU comes back

Essentials WHAT #3 Michigan (10-0) vs Illinois (7-3) WHERE Michigan Stadium Ann Arbor, MI WHEN Noon Eastern THE LINE M –17.5 TELEVISION ABC (McDonough/Blackledge) TICKETS From $33. WEATHER cloudy, ~0% chance of snow 15 mph wind mid to high 20s. Overview It was all there for the 7-1 Illini two weeks ago. Just beat MSU and Purdue and they could have walked into this game already crowned the Big Ten West champs; even a split would have allowed them to lose to Michigan and still control their own destiny in the Hat game against Northwestern. Illinois did not win either of those games. It in fact lost them in brutally painful fashion, outgaining MSU by about 150 yards and then losing Chase Brown to an ugly-looking injury with 30 seconds left against Purdue.
