Illinois beats Nebraska. Illinois goes up in the rankings, because they also beat a ranked team and Nebraska, losing to a ranked team, only drops a spot.
Or
Nebraska, ranked, beats a ranked Illinois team and goes up in the rankings while Illinois, losing to a ranked team, only drops one spot.
Meanwhile Pitt, hopefully 4-0 after tomorrow, beating an unranked D2 team, drops further in the polls.
That’s kind of how the ESPN big 10
Homer logic seems to work. Perhaps exaggerating a little, but every year big teams are over ranked, lose to each other ,preventing the appropriate fall and a fair ranking. Am I wrong?
