. . 481. . . . 13. . Big Ten power rankings.

Illinois lost their fair share of players in the spring window and like other Big Ten opponents, they were unable to bring anyone else in.

The Fighting Illini lost 10 players to the portal in the month of April, which will hurt, but after a 5-7 season in 2023, those players leaving opens up spots for other talent.

Illinois could improve on their record in 2024 with starters now having more experience, which is why they aren't at the bottom of these rankings, but they aren't at the top either.
