Buckeyes Head to Champaign: Can Illinois Pull Off an Upset?
The storied “Illibuck†rivalry renews on October 11, 2025, as the Ohio State Buckeyes travel to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini. Historically, Ohio State has dominated the series, leading 68–30–4. Illinois comes into the matchup as a surprising sleeper, returning many starters under head coach Bret Bielema. However, Ohio State is loaded with talent in 2025, ranked No. 1 and featuring elite offense and defense. While Illinois has the home crowd and momentum, the expectation is that the Buckeyes will prevail — though Illinois could make it closer than many expect.
