Illinois football, you've made it.

No, we're not talking about the Illini's 6-1 record or No. 20 ranking in the AP poll.

We're talking about back-to-back appearances in the 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS.

After handling Michigan in a ranked-versus-ranked matchup last week in Champaign, the Illini are gonna give it a go again, back on the big stage.

On Saturday, the Illini are in Eugene, Oregon, to take on the No. 1 Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium, once again on CBS.

There have already been FOUR teams ranked No. 1 this season and it's not even November.
