When is the last time we beat a team that was favored?
@ahills-plays647117 сағат бұрын
We have a realistic chance at all these teams. At the end of the day even if you have more talent you don’t always win (Indiana last year). It just depends which side of the upset u get.

I kinda split between you two on the "importance" list, I'd say @USC, @IA, home PSU in that order. PSU biggest since home game and PSU for the reasons stated, plus a likely night game. Similar to Jusin, I won't include MN because I just expect to beat them, especially this year at home and considering where both programs are. But I absolutely do have MN at the top of the list in terms of pure desire to beat every year.
@alienspace3960Күн бұрын
MN plays PSU the week before so they'll be very beat up, USC plays Michigan the week before Wisconsin PSU plays Ohio State the week after Wisconsin

Wi and PSU games usually go down to the wire and are close games.PSU might have a 5 game winning streak but every game was close few plays here and there it's almost 50 50 last 5 games.

Although I agree our recruiting has vastly improved we have a long way to go. I count 15 teams nationally that have more 5/4 stars on their commit list than we do. We need more wins to attract higher ranked recruits.

They’re all important in the age of a 12 team playoff (I personally thinking it will get to 16 and the Big will get to 22-24 teams eventually), but it depends. One could say, if you think Oregon, Penn State, Alabama are definitely losses, it would be Iowa, Northwestern, Nebraska. Or, if you think those are winnable games, then they are most important.

Welcome back to Wisconsin and the great north, Ryan! Shell Lake used to be stacked at football. Really, really good for a lot of years. Make sure you trek back to Cumberland and the corner bar for some chicken after getting stuff settled. Spent a few weekends years ago on Shell Lake camping right off the main drag. Fun times.

1. Alabama. This team; this program; this fan base needs the confidence it would bring. Would give Fickell and crew validation. 2. USC-starting the new Big Ten 3. Iowa-a measuring stick to how much physically this team has improved
@dimitri1515Күн бұрын
I think if Iowa's defense is still outstanding this year, it shows that high 3/low 4 stars are just as good as high 4 & 5 star defenses.

Yeah, Ryan's choices in music along with the CD/car accident discussion made you date yourselves. Well, my first car had an 8 track player in it, and I had an adapter to play cassettes that I had recorded off of the radio ... Man, I'd love to see the Badgers beat Bama,. but they would need great play out of their QB.

Completely agree. They will have first year growing pains too. Guarantee Fick doesn't think we have no chance against them. Gave Ohio st more than they wanted last year with a team with much less talent than we have this year. If game was at Bama, then I would say not much chance.

Statistics showed 10 out of 12 of TVD ints he had perfect pass protection. Can he play the position yes. Is he great no. 50% of his problem is that he doesn't make ppl around him better period! He's not a vocal leader on or off the field. He doesn't even celebrate touchdowns. Not a bad kid just has no emotion from the most crucial position on the team. Players will not follow him trust me.

I would think coming North for school is getting to be a much easier sell than 10yrs ago. With NIL, travelling back home on demand is easier. Getting out of the heat & humidity in the summer is a real thing. Playoff time in the NFL and College now too is in the winter (See Miami in the Pinstripe Bowl and Dolphins in the playoffs). I cannot wait to see an SEC team come North on Dec 20th.
