James McCourt kicked a 39-yard field as time expired and Illinois pulled off the biggest upset of the college football season, knocking off No. 6 Wisconsin 24-23 on Saturday.

Tony Adams picked off a pass for the Illini (3-5, 1-3 Big Ten) at midfield with 2:33 remaining, which led to the winning field goal.

Wisconsin would pay out anywhere from 8/1 to 12/1 odds to win the Big 12.  Michigan pays 2/1.  Ohio State pays between even and 2/1 odds.
