The Wisconsin Badgers Thread

Iowa BETTER beat MSU or else.

oh hey, there's some people in here

I COULD see 11-1, and we could do it easily. However, Michigan and Northwestern certainly scare me.

If the Northwestern game was in their place, yeah, the Badgers seem to have trouble there. Michigan is a tough game but the Badgers are healthy now unlike when they played Michigan State. They had a couple players coming back after a few games off because of injury and it showed. Gilreath (sp?) wasn't even returning kicks yet at that point. Michigan is what it is, an overhyped team because of its history.

Wisconsin beat OSU, so they own the tiebreaker over them. You just need MSU to lose to Iowa.

MSU needs to lose twice, since OSu and MSU don't play, MSU holds the tie breaker over us, then it goes to BCS ranking, and OSU will probably be ranked higher if we both win out due to strength of schedule

Sure they will.

Also in a 3 way tie, they'd go by BCS Standings.

We need Iowa to stub there toe again. At Happy Valley last game of the season. Is where it will most likely happen. Other than that. Badgers need to JUST WIN

You mean MSU.

I agree, they could very well lose to PSU.

If MSU loses and Badgers win out they're in the Rose Bowl. If there is a 3 way tie, I'm guessing OSU (if they even beat Iowa) will be ahead of the Badgers in the BCS standings. Iowa is basically sol.

They gotta get past Purdue first

The first half didn't look too easy. Its rough with Clay always getting attention on the sideline with his ankle. NFL teams will really have to be wary of this if it's not something that can be fixed with surgery. Having White out doesn't help either.

i don't see anyway clay will be able to play as a hb in the NFL with his current body. he needs to lose a bunch of weight. That would probably help with the injuries to the knees/ankles and would make him a little quicker, and probably would still be able to break tackles easily. It's a shame, he has so much potential, but Ball and White are the HB i'd rather have getting the majority of carries when healthy, because they aren't one dimensional like clay.(i don't think he has a reception this season, which is another negative to nfl teams

I don't know if he's planning on it. When he was recruited out of high school people didn't even want him as a hb, then wanted him as a fb. That's probably the only way he could play in the NFL, but I have no idea how good of a blocker he is.

I still want the MSU game back.

I was really hoping Auburn and Oregon would have gotten beat. I don't see how they don't finish as the top Big Ten team if they win out. I really don't see Stanford as a better team right now either. I'm fine with the top 4 in the BCS but the Badgers could/should be 5th or 6th. LSU I'm not real certain on either way. I guess they gotta put up 100 next week.

The stupid thing about the computer ranking is that Wisconsin in hurt by playing a crappy team. Is Wisconsin worse after playing IU this weekend? No. So why are they being penalized in the computers. Is Wisconsin worse after this weekend because teams they beat like Iowa and Arizona State lost this weekend? No.

I still think Wisconsin will be in the Rose Bowl if they win out. I think OSU will win out and we'll see I doubt they can jump UW in the BCS. If they beat Iowa, they'll be a 4 loss team and not a real signature win that OSU was banking on to boost them in the polls. At this point UW beating Northwestern in the final game could be nearly as good as OSU beating Iowa.

I'm still hoping PSU beats MSU as a fall back though.
