Maybe.  We’ll see.  I remember a few years thinking Wisconsin over TCU was the lock of the bowl season due to the size differential in the trenches.  I think Utah had a pretty big size advantage in the trenches too.
I remember that well.  It was before TCU was in the Big 12, and I was rooting hard for Wisconsin to put the Toads in their place.  It seemed like the Badgers came out with a game plan designed to play right into TCU's strengths and neutralize their own.

Why do you list the point difference in losses but not in wins?  It does not seem to be a fair analysis to me.  Wiscy blew out both Michigan and Minny.  That should be taken into account.


Then do the work and take it into account!

Bielema screwed the pooch in that game. The loss is 100% on him.

Sometimes you wonder what gets in coaches' minds.  They get too clever for their own good and end up losing games they woulda/coulda/shoulda won.

UW should have rolled in that game. Scott Tolzein was a great college QB. Johnny Clay, James White and Montee Ball. Lance Kendricks. Nick Toon. JJ Watt. Beau Allen. NFL OLine. Chris Borland. Mike Taylor. 


No excuse to lose that game.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!
