So… That was an absolute gut punch. This week, we go through the wreckage left behind after Northwestern’s dismal performance against Illinois State.  We are your premier Northwestern Sports Podcast! You can download the episode from iTunes, Stitcher Radio or directly from here.

We are playing a little game throughout the season. Each of us chose 5 teams who had a combined record last year of no more than 40. We’ll track our teams all season and see which squad ends up with the most wins. Here are the updated standings with current wins in parentheses.

Erik: 7 Florida State (2), LSU (1), Boise State (2), Penn State (1), Troy (1)

John: 9 Alabama (2), Florida State (2), San Diego State (2), Georgia Tech (2), UCF (1)

Sam: 8 Clemson (2), LSU (1), Boise State (2), Texas (2), Boston College (1)
