COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 10 — The meltdown happened a few weeks earlier this season for No. 1 Ohio State.
Last season, the undefeated Buckeyes were blown away by Florida in the national title game. This season, the flop came sooner, and perhaps more spectacularly, for the again undefeated Buckeyes.
Behind a relentless defense and four touchdown passes by quarterback Isaiah Williams, unranked and enigmatic Illinois stunned the Buckeyes, 28-21, before 105,453 fans on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
The loudest roars from this upset may have come from Eugene, Ore., as Oregon will likely leap to No. 2 in the Bowl Championship Series standings. That will mean that the Ducks, who were idle this weekend, would play Louisiana State, the likely new No. 1, in the national title game if the season were to end this weekend.
Wisconsin’s victory takes the Big Ten out of the title race, much to the relief of college football fans in the West and South, who have been skeptical of the caliber of the league all season.
I don't know. I was cheering pretty loud.

FINALLY, a chance to prove the PAC-10 is as much bullshit as the Big 10.
