After Illinois defeated Ohio State on Saturday with a come-from behind win in the final minutes, several Illini players called themselves B1G Championships (even though the B1G has already said UM is based on win %).
#illini Ayo Dosunmu said he thinks they should be co-champions in the Big Ten with Michigan.

We’ll see how things play out today with Michigan vs. MSU as the Wolverines will have two games up on the Illini loss column with a win. Illinois did beat Michigan by 20+.
