Kevin Kinder is correct.  For nearly eight years, until this year, all of the
Big 10 teams played each other during the season.  Yes, that only left two
nonconference games a year, but they didn't mind.  The thrill of it all was
playing each other (just attend any Big Ten conference game.  You'll see
excitement).

Incidently, Illinois was not the only team in the Big Ten to drop one inter-
conference game this year.  ALL of the Big Ten teams played three nonconference
games this year.
