That's not even a 2 hr flight. 

At best you'll get 45 min of streaming.

From Phoenix to Boston is 5 Hours.

It is interesting. I would have expected a Wisconsin loss no matter what, but before the Illinois game I expected the sort of nervy, what if energy I felt before the 2017 Big Ten title game or the 2015 basketball title game. A little annoyed I don’t get that, but I also think, frankly, This offense wasn’t that good and at some point the team might catch all the wrong brakes.

Welp.

I was holding out for an OSU fan to start this thing, so ELA (or I) could come in and edit the subject line, as per the norm.

Anyway, I don't see any possibility for a Badger win here. We'll see how the kids respond.
I will give you your chance to moderate, and edit per my post, if you dare.

Your post is complete bull. The Badgers will be so pissed Saturday after losing to Illinois you can throw away Ohio State's entire season record. No way Ohio State wins.

Just going to throw some random tidbits from a good article on the differences between OSU and UW, written by Jesse Temple on the Athletic site. The will be in parentheses in this thread.

****************************************************

Wisconsin compiled its best recruiting class in school history in 2019 by signing 5-star offensive lineman Logan Brown and 4-star quarterback Graham Mertz. That class ranked No. 28 nationally and sixth in the Big Ten — behind Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Nebraska and Purdue. The last time Ohio State had a class that ranked lower than No. 28 was in 2007.

Of Ohio State’s 22 offensive and defensive starters against Northwestern last week, 16 were considered 4- or 5-star prospects out of high school, including five 5-star starters. Wisconsin had four 4-star prospects and no 5-star players in its starting 22 against Illinois. Half of Ohio State’s 22 starters ranked in the top 10 nationally at their respective positions in high school.

Not buying any of it Badge. Nobody does a better job of recruiting the RIGHT guys for what they want to do, and then developing them, than Wisconsin.  Nobody.  Best RB in the game- again. Best offensive line in the game- again one of the best LB groups- again.

but, crazy talent, trumps development most times, not all the time

this is why the Badgers haven't gone undefeated many times and haven't represented in the 4-team playoff

Wisconsin outside linebacker Zack Baun stood against a wall inside the lower level of the McClain Center and answered questions from reporters about the difficult challenge the Badgers would face against Ohio State. The first query focused on the problems presented by quarterback Justin Fields because of his playmaking ability and physicality. The next question referenced how opponents also had to deal with J.K. Dobbins, an All-America-caliber running back in the Buckeyes’ backfield.

“They’re all like 4 and 5 stars, right?” Baun said, referencing their high school recruiting rankings. “So they’re athletic dudes. They’re athletic, and their whole team is like that.”

Fields, a former 5-star high school prospect who transferred to Ohio State from Georgia, has thrown for 22 touchdowns with one interception and is a Heisman Trophy candidate. Dobbins, a 4-star high school player, ranks fourth in the FBS in rushing yards per game at 135.4. They represent just a small fraction of the elite-level talent bubbling over on Ohio State’s roster.

During the five recruiting classes from 2015-19, Ohio State signed 13 5-star players (which excludes Fields) and 74 4-star prospects, according to the 247Sports Composite. In that same stretch, Wisconsin signed one 5-star player and nine 4-star prospects. Ohio State’s average national ranking in those five classes was 5.8; Wisconsin’s average ranking was 37.6. Ohio State’s average composite score was .9308; Wisconsin’s was .8612.

Depth is also a major factor... which leads to my next post:

“They’re recruiting out of high school getting guys ready to play as soon as they can,” Baun said. “Here, we may recruit a 3-star guy. But we redshirt him and then kind of develop him through his time here and develop his body. They’re looking for guys that are ready to play, and their bodies are physically ready as soon as they get in.”

Baun is a classic example of Wisconsin’s approach. He took a redshirt season as a freshman in 2015, didn’t become a starter until last season as a redshirt junior and has turned himself into a midseason All-America selection as a senior. When he committed to Wisconsin, his only other scholarship offer was to FCS school South Dakota State. Baun, a 3-star prospect, arrived as an athlete who played quarterback in high school. Wisconsin’s coaches were willing to find a position that best suited him and the program and bide their time.

Yes, Ohio State recruits at an elite level, there is no denying that. However, it is a testament to the program at Wisconsin that they are in the National Discussion year in and year out given their recruiting rankings. King Barry has established a very nice program in Madison that seems to make the most of their talents. That is something to be very proud of. I respect Wisconsin's program and the way they are able to develop players. 

That said, there is no way that Ohio State wins this game Saturday. The Badgers will be hungry, pissed and ready to show what a fluke last week was. :)
