I'm still in not looking at what I had last week mode, because it's too early in the season to care.

15) Wisconsin: looked mediocre in a game against Western Illinois. Sure, they won by 27; Illinois St. beat W. IL by 31 the week before.

I see that Illinois St also beat new MWC member NIU in week 2.  A sign I guess that ILL St is pribably a pretty good FCS team. 

But also a sign maybe that Iowa's big win over NIU in week 1 does not mean much.

The more Iowa fans laugh at Wisconsin football, the sooner Fickell gets fired. So yeah--laugh it up. :88:

Its hard to laugh at other teams when Iowa can barely beat an Iowa St team that lost its entire roster.  But for your sake I will try

If it'll help, and Fickell is still there, y'all can certainly lose to Purdue if it'll get him canned.

@betarhoalphadelta Can we, though? That's definitely out of my hands, and may be out of the Badgers' hands (claws?), too.

As for Iowa squeaking by Iowa State, rivalry games are hard. A win is a win, and while I'm more than happy to mock Michigan fans for storming the field after losing to  *beating* Western Michigan, I won't be so foolish as to make fun of a rival for a win over one of their significant rivals, even those they are expected to beat. Well, I won't make fun of Iowa for that right now.

you should definitely make fun of Michigan for storming field after Western. absolutely humiliating and embarrassing. they should forfeit the win just over that.

7) Michigan: what to do with a 1-1 team that just upset #11 Oklahoma at home? Defense looks great. Offense does not. Lost to Western Michigan just a week ago. Always has great athletes.
defense is just getting started and could round into form to maybe one of the 2 or 3 best in the entire country by the end of the season. they are f'ing loaded up the wazoo at EDGE rusher and they have 4 legit corners who could/will be future NFL draft picks in Jyaire Hill, Zeke Berry, Shamari Earls, and Smith Snowden the transfer from Utah. Not to mention they finally get their QB of the secondary back in free safety Rod Moore. only potential achilles heel on the defense is lack of experience/depth at LB. Rest of CFB world should thank Ernest Hausmann for retiring from football and Cole Sullivan for transferring to Oklahoma....bc those two guys are back at Michigan in 2026 forget it....defense would be retarded filthy.

they have nowhere to go but up with the offense.....if they can even get to mediocre they'll be a dangerous team who can stay in almost any game because of that defense and the special teams which look to be excellent as well.

Actually, probably not. I think the Badgers losing to the Boilers is impossible, forever, until proven otherwise.

We're you originally planning to put USC 2nd?

Edit;  Never mind.  I figured it out.
