Now ranked No. 13 in the AP poll, Illinois (11-3, 3-1) has performed about as well as anyone could have expected or hoped for back when the season began just over two months ago.

Before I turned off responses on Thursday night, 603 of you had taken On Montlake's December 2024 UW Huskies football subscriber survey. Thanks to everyone who weighed in on Jedd Fisch's approval rating, your expectations for 2025, your interest in the Sun Bowl, how you would fix college football and why this sport continues to hold your interest.

Not sure I'd have believed a year ago that UW could do anything following an appearance in the national-title game to warrant such middling results … but then Nick Saban retired.
