What you need to know

Rankings reflect College Football Playoff

Illinois: The chances to take the Big Ten West have been there, but the Illini just haven't taken them, dropping two straight games, including one to division rival Purdue, and losing the first place in the standings. This is still one of the better scoring defenses in college football, and lead back Chase Brown could return from a minor injury, but Illinois needs to protect its quarterback better: it allowed 2.3 sacks per game in the last 3, while Michigan averages 3.1 sacks per game on defense.

No. 3 Michigan: Run the ball and play defense. It's been the winning formula for the Wolverines from Day 1, and it has this team in College Football Playoff contention for a second straight season. Illinois is strong against the run, allowing just two backs to eclipse 100 yards. Blake Corum is the No. 1 ranked rusher in the country with the second-most TDs (17), and is third with 1,349 yards. This week he goes against the nation's No. 6 run stop.
