Record after week 4: 48-13 (29-30-2 ATS)
12 pm ET
(2) Ohio State (4-0) at Illinois (2-1) (+17)

It seems that athletes can no longer speak the truth without a ton of people getting their panties in a bunch, which makes every one that does a refreshing dose.

Can't believe there aren't more good noon games today. I'm sleeping in. Yeah, who am I kidding? I have an eight-month-old son. I'll be up at 7 am and probably live blogging Gameday or something equally awesome.
