Unranked Illinois 28, No. 1 Ohio State 21
At the Horseshoe, too. And the Buckeyes showed their usually Buckeye class by brawling at the end of the game. Dumbest timeout of the season: Ohio State called timeout with the Illini facing 4th and inches at their own 32. Ron Zook was going to punt and count on his defense to preserve the win. During the timeout, his players convinced him to try to convert instead. After the timeout, they went for it and made the first down, then ran out the game clock by finishing an 8 minute 9 second drive.
Ohio State and Michigan will both be coming off huge disappointing losses going into their big game next week.
This was the ninth time a top-five team lost to an unranked opponent in 2007.
