I think Wisconsin is better than a lot of people think on here.  They deserved to be rated.  And I think they would be just fine playing Colorado, Kansas and Kansas St.  or UCLA Washington St or ASU for example.

BTW, stop with the reverance for the SEC.  It makes me sick

There's an outside chance UW could finish 3rd in the BT and play in the Cap One.  OSU could easily lose 2 of 3 to Penn St, Iowa and Michigan. 

Of course, UW needs to win out as well.

i would love to see UW win out this year and set the tone for next year along the way.  It would be great to see Clay just explode for 200-300yds during one or two of these last 4 games.  But

Re: Iowa.....they are pretty much an enigma...I saw them completely dismantle a good Penn. State team in Happy Valley...it was dominance all the way in a hostile environment.... I think they are the real deal and an opportune team that creates mistakes in their opponents. I think they have a downside and that for parts of games they seem to play down to their level of competition.... One other thing...Stanzi is not always on the top of his game, and when pressured makes some pretty bad mistakes. Also losing one of their very good and up and coming backs has hurt as well. Don't think they'll get him back until the bowl games. Also as said previously when you are from a major conference and win all your games you are going to be highly ranked. Iowas major test will be in Columbus. I see Iowas defense creating all kinds of problems for Pryor.....but  also the OSU defense is going to make Stanzi throw and he better be on his game....

Iowa who?

 Iowa is done. They either lose out, or squeak by Minnesota. They have no running game, and a flimsy passing game with a frosh QB. Wooton put a whooping on Stanzi, and he's out for the season.

OSU 10-2, PSU 10-2, IOWA 9-3, UW 9-3, NU 8-4, MIN 7-5, MSU 6-6, PU 6-6, MICH 5-7, ILL 4-8, IND 4-8

 Iowa was overrated before they lost Stanzi.  At least now they'll be placed within the pecking order more accurately.
