Michigan has won six straight against the Fighting Illini, but some of those wins came down to the wire. The last meeting between the two teams came back in 2022 when Michigan kicked a field goal with nine seconds on the clock to propel it to a 19-17 victory in Ann Arbor.

The Michigan game at Washington is sold out per the Illinois ticket office. However, there are a number of tickets available on the secondary market. You can still find tickets for around $76 to $102 from Stubhub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and Ticketmaster.

The Illini are 11-11-1 in ranked-vs-ranked games at home, but haven’t won one since beating Ohio State in 1991. They’ve lost six straight ranked-vs-ranked games against Michigan at home and on the road. Illini coach Bret Bielema wants his team’s fans to bring a raucous atmosphere.
