Super intriguing. Which Illinois shows up? Common opponents...Badgers, both lost to them. Any other common opponents? that lift call in Madison still gives me nightmares

Two questions: Who logiclly do you think will win? and Who do you want to win? It would be interesting to know what is the percentage of people who can not see that these are two different questions. Fan is short for Fanatic. I mean anyone who has watched both teams recently should say Kentucky is a clear favorite. Don’t really think that’s homerish of me to say. Like I’ve also said before illinois is plenty talented and could certainly pull the upset if they play well but not sure how many people really think Illinois is going to win. Going to win vs able to win are different things. I never vote in these polls who I think will win. I vote for who I want to win. I would bet most people do that. Way more B1G fans here than SEC fans. I don't think this poll is surprising at all. It's also not remotely an indicator of who will/won't win. I think Kentucky takes this, but I'm voting for my conference mate.

Kentucky was swept but Illinois took a set off of the Bluejays, so this means that the Illini should be considered heavy favorites to win today's match. The contentious poll results are hereby fully vindicated.

Cats by 90…err, wrong sport…Cats in 3. I’ll say Illinois averages 18 points per set.

I either want to see Nebraska vs. Kentucky OR Illinois vs. Florida State in the regionals. So, I'm pretty neutral here. But, given FSU is an even more underdog, guess I'm going for Kentucky.

This is just bad scheduling. I need to see who wins the NU FSU match before I root for someone in the match. Lol
