These UW players need no outside motivation for schools like Ohio State. They get it.
Lessons of last year’s close calls fuel Badgers heading into title tilt

"That outcome [2016], more so than 2014, will likely be on the minds of the players as the undefeated Badgers prepare for Saturday's championship game against Ohio State in Indianapolis."

OSU did pretty sh!tty in their last revenge game (OU.) I kinda figure the same for this one.

maybe, but I think you could argue there's more pressure on UW. They are undefeated, they are squarely in the playoff with a win, they've never been this close to the playoff, they're trying to show their a top 5 program, etc.

Part of OSU's craptastic game against OU was the offensive playcalling, Wilson admitted after the game he was horrible. So we'll see what they do this time. Run a gimpy QB 15-20 doesn't seem to be a good idea, but I've seen it everytime Urban has had a big game loss. he about did it again last Saturday.

The OSU LB's have got to play better as well, they were terrible again against UM, they just got bailed out because Okorn missed some easy TDs. the blown coverage by Baker in the 1st quarter comes to mind.

I think a couple over unders could decide this game.

J Taylor over/under 125 yds rushing

Hornibrook over under 1 1/2 picks

Weber/Dobbins over under combined 28 carries

Over under Barrett (if he plays) more carries than OSU RBs

Ohio State 3rd down defense, over under 35% getting off the field

Wisconsin TE's over/under 6 combined catches

Based on what I see, there is no more pressure on the UW players than there has been for any other game this season.

They are very even keel as a staff and players, from top to bottom.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

maybe, but just like a basketball team, sometimes when you get into the NCAA tournament you just get tight, or stray from your normal game for whatever reason. when your playing Minnesota the entire nation's not watching, but when you're in your conference title game everyone is watching.

I'm not saying Wisconsin will do this, but I also don't buy that there's no pressure and it's just another game. they may play very well and win, but it's not just another game.

I gotta wonder what kind of impact the Schiano fiasco with Tennessee could have this weekend.

I'm not defending or accusing Schiano of anything, I'm not sure anyone but Schiano or Sandusky knows what he saw, if anything.

and while it's hard not to trivialize something much bigger than football, I'm gonna try to stick to football here. the guy just essentially had his name drug through the mud due to the Tennessee protests, you gotta wonder where his head is at, where his families heads are at and where maybe some of his defensive players/staff heads are at.

maybe it's just business as usual, but that's gotta be sort of a tough thing to deal with, thinking you just landed a pretty decent job to probably being blackballed for a vast majority of jobs in the matter of hours.

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?
He did recruit him to keep him away from Maryland.  Fact. That's the type of slimeball your shit coach is. Just ask the Diggs family. 
It was speculated that he'd rot on the bench due to the other talent on the roster. 
I said I hoped he'd rot on the bench myself. 
Actually, it will be nice to see his homecoming in front of all the players he shit on a few years ago, recruiting everyone to play for the DMV. 
Did you notice the satisfaction Brooks had when he tackled him yards from the endzone, when the refs gave them free points? 
He'll get pounded over and over again.

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

What do you believe that the zebras will do if the consensus is that the Badgers have a better chance of "making" the playoffs, but that OSU has a better chance of "winning" the playoffs?

gut feel? I think Wisconsin wins as long as Hornibrook doesn't turn it over multiple times. One turnover they can survive. He throws 2-3 picks though- OSU will run away with it.

All comes down to how well Hornibrook can play. He doesn't have to be a hero. Just complete the easy passes that are there and take care of the football and lean on the defense and run game and Wisconsin will win. I think.

This is a GREAT point. We often forget that these are HUMAN BEINGS coaching/playing this game.

That has to be a really tough thing to deal with as a man and for his family. He didn't just lose a job- his reputation/character were dragged through the fricken dirt for the world to see.

For Christ sake idiot Tennessee politicians were calling him out on Twitter trying to ingratiate themselves with the mob and some idiot Tennessee fans painted on that giant rock on campus that Schiano was essentially a child rapist.

Who knows where his head is at. I can't say I blame him if it's not on football. After Saturday's game, if I'm him first thing I'm doing is calling my lawyer and suing everyone. I'm suing McQueary, I'm suing UT, I'm suing Clay Travis- I'm suing everybody and anybody I can sue.

Not sure the Zebras have a say so in this one.
"Take one for the conference", "greater good", and all that jazz. 
Got to say, I've never seen a more confident coach or extraordinary team like Wisconsin a few years ago completely shit the bed and have a coach leave right after such a big game, out of the blue. 
Almost like he signed a gag order and couldn't bear to stick around.
