Wisconsin Badgers ( I Have First Topic Ya ME!!)

The Badgers are 7-1 and are now ranked 17


GO BADGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

This team has come together much quicker than I thought they would. They are extremely young at RB, WR, TE and they have players at those positions playing like upperclassmen.

The defense has also stepped it up a notch from last year.

The new coaching staff seems to be ab le to make good game plans, have in game adjustments, and goes for the kill when they have an opponent down. Barry seemed to play with and keep the opponents in the game too often.

With the way the schedule sets up for the rest of the year, at worst they should have 3 losses, but I would not be surprised with 1 or 2 and a very nice bowl game.

correct me if I am wrong, but haven't they only played one decent team and got spanked?

What is the combined record of the teams they have beat?

Yes the schedule has been favorable, and no they did not get spanked. The Michigan game on the road was competitive for 3 quarters and ended with a 14 point loss.

The schedule will continue to be favorable, with a home game v Penn State and away v Iowa being the most difficult on paper.

Again, very young at skill positions save QB. New HC and a number of assistants. I am happy. :thumbsup:

8-1 w/ PSU upcoming. PSU's O sucks. I am predicting a shutout.

Yeah, PSU is garbage, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Badgers blow it. I hope not, but I tend to keep my expectations low w/ them.

The Badgers are 9-1 with a game @Iowa. Hopefully Stocco decides he can play.

Win or lose Wisconsin has clinched the Capital One Bowl. There playing for recruits now pretty much. They won't get a better Bowl and they won't get a worse Bowl either.

I believe they could make the Rose if they win out and either UM or OSU lose out.

They had a 10-0 lead over the Hawkeyes but the Hawkeyes Finally got fired up (after playing 10 games without being fired up) and made it 14-10 but Hawks defense still to sluggish Wisconsin at the Half 17-14

Yes give props to Donovan, I say he played way better than Stocco would of, sorry not a fan of stocco. Iowa had two big chances to win 28-24 but they screwed it up. On 4th and 7 if Dominque Douglas wouldn't of dropped that pass (wide open I might add) they could of scored or atleats kicked a field goal and went into OT. Could of Would of Should of, Iowa is still 6-5.

with the win the Badgers are ranked #12!


Rankings



GO BADGERS!

Well they should beat Buffalo and finish 11-1. Right now their #9 in the BCS and with the extra BCS Bowl now that means 2 extra teams get an at large bid.

Your probably looking at..

Big Ten - Ohio State or Michigan
Big East - Rutgers or West Virginia
Pac 10 - USC
SEC - Florida or Arkansas
ACC - Georgia Tech
Big 12 Texas

So that's 6. Then the 4 at large bids would be giving too...

1. Michigan
2. Notre Dame
3. Arkansas
4. Wisconsin

They may have an outside shot at the Fiesta Bowl. They need some help in the polls and Michigan beating Ohio State will definately help them in the computers so there is an outside chance.

West Virginia needs to lose. Florida or Arkansas need to lose which will happen and USC needs to beat ND. If all that happens they have a legit shot at the Fiesta Bowl.

3 teams from the same conference can not all go to a BCS game.

You are right. I did some research and found the rule. That's a stupid rule. If Wisconsin jumps to #6 in the BCS they should be giving an at large bid but because of this they will have to be passed over. So Wisconsin will play in the Capital One Bowl this year.

That's a garbage rule. Boise friggin' State will get to a BCS bowl over the Badgers. What a joke. Another good reason for a playoff.

Agreed. Boise State isn't that good.

This is the first time that the Wisconsin Badgers have ever had eleven regular season wins........ever! Very impressive by the rookie head coach! It was not a very impressive win today, though.
