Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Well run program who have bided their time and play grinding,smash mouth football.If you don't have a dog in the fight IMO the Badgers are America's team in this play off picture

Yep.  Not ESPN's team--that would be Bama.  But America's.

I hope the Sooners take care of business (by beating TCU) and play Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.  It would be a great contrast in styles and strengths.

The first time I ever watched college football was New Year's Day of 1963.  Black-and-white TV.  Saw Oklahoma lose 17-0 to Alabama in the Orange Bowl in the middle of the day, then watched the latter part of Wisconsin vs. USC in the Rose Bowl.

I rooted for the Badgers, maybe because I knew what a Badger was but not a Trojan.  Or maybe I'd already heard about Yon Yonson.  The game went back and forth, with USC scoring last and winning by 3 or 4 points.  I've liked Wisconsin ever since.  I like how the current Wisconsin teams play.  I like it when a team that absolutely needs a yard on THIS play can run the ball and get that yard.

Good luck to both teams in the B1G CG, but I'd rather not see the Sooners (should they make it) play Ohio State again.  The old cliche is true--it's tough to beat a good team twice in the same season.

I'd say a 2 game season at least to this point

Northwestern and Michigan are dangerous teams

I grew up as a Buckeye fan, but what's not to like about the Badgers?

Great fans(relatively humble), Madison is a great place, cheese curds, farm boys(walk-ons), King Barry built them in the Husker mold.  They wear RED.  The West division needs a win!

Does anyone think the 59-0 beat down could be a motivational factor for badgers? Different coach, most but not all those players are gone. But I'm sure it's brought up by media all week

I read Wisconsin Senors saying they remember (but don't want to) that debacle, but last years OT loss is a bigger motivational factor. 

will be REAL interesting if it seems to the fans watching and to Urban that he is getting jobbed by the Big Ten for the sake of the playoff

that's why I wonder if big Jim calls Urban this week to let him know what's up and to not blow up like Pelini

So, I hear you saying Wisconsin?

That's what it's looking like. 

yes, because even if,..........

Stanford beats USC Friday evening, TCU clobbers OU nearly in the afternoon, Georgia beats Auburn late in the afternoon, and Clemson is blowing out the Canes at halftime of the ACC game, there's no guarantee that the Buckeyes would get in with a dominating performance against the badgers 

Whoever has the best chance of getting into the playoff to represent the B1G, will win the game.

So many things you post are ludicrous.    
Do you remember posting that Urban only recruited Haskins to ensure nobody else could have him?  You said he would never get a chance to play at OSU.  Care to now admit how obviously wrong that was?
