Duke remains the No. 1 team in the country and has done nothing since that win over Michigan to negatively affect its position, blowing out Notre Dame by 44 and blowing out Virginia by 26. Since the loss to Duke, the Wolverines have beaten Minnesota and Illinois. Steady Fall: A few teams whose odds have trended in the wrong direction are Houston and Illinois. A little over a week ago, the Cougars were at +750, but have fallen to +1000, having recently suffered a three-game losing streak – falling to Iowa State and Kansas, and at home to Arizona. However, only one of these teams is above them on the odds chart, and that is the Wildcats. As for Illinois, it recently suffered back-to-back losses, at UCLA and at home against Michigan.
