To who said they were never upper echelon is incorrect. It's been a long long time but I belive they have 5 or so national titles.

Illinois has 5...albeit 4 came before WWII.

Gotcha. Well I knew they had a few. Plus when you have guys like Red Grange and Butkus as alums you have some success.

I mean it's been a decade since they made a BCS bowl so they've had "recent" success.
