Time gets away from us all, and in the what-have-you-done-for-me-today world of college football, it moves even faster. The game is an ever-increasing grind, the coaching churn to be expected. Before you know it,

It'll be the first game between ranked opponents at Memorial Stadium in 24 years. It's not the Wolverines who have been holding things up.

In a game that serves as an opportunity for both teams to improve their profiles and bring into focus more precisely where they stand in the Big Ten, No. 22 Illinois (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) welcomes No. 24 Michigan (4-2, 2-1) to Champaign on Saturday in the first AP Top 25 ranked-versus-ranked matchup at Memorial Stadium since 2000.
