“Illinois Lost to Purdue… Enough Said”: Fans Push Back on Bret Bielema After Illinois Coach’s Bold SEC Claim

There has been a lot of chatter about SEC teams usually ranking a lot higher than other teams despite having the same record or worse, and Illinois head coach Bret Bielema threw some shade at the conference. After their 24-13 win over Nebraska on Friday, the Fighting Illini head coach noted that with a 6-3 record, his team might have been in the top 15 if Illinois was in the SEC. “But to be in this job, where we’re at right now, 6-3, we beat another 5-3 team. If we were in the SEC, we’d probably be a top-15 team. We’ve just got to continue to stay on track where we’re at and do a really good job of holding the moment and putting ourselves in a position to be successful,” he said.
