Illinois lands at No. 23. If they beat Washington this weekend, the Illini will be ranked when they host Rutgers on Nov. 1. It will be the Scarlet Knights' only realistic chance to end its 16-year streak without a ranked win, because they have no shot against No. 1 Ohio State.
Every spot in the Top 25 ranking has changed from last week, except Ohio State at No. 1. See where other top teams land. https://t.co/7dTTUiSC1j

Pre-snap communication: not ideal.
Abram Wright and Kaj Sanders were yelling at each other while pointing in different directions before the snap, then after giving up a first down, continued yelling at each other. Play gets called back for a hold, but not a great sign from the Rutgers defense.
