I admit I don’t follow them closely every year, but I thought I read an article a few weeks ago that said they had not been undefeated WI team since 1912??   I can’t find the source but it’s a telling stat about how difficult it is to achieve that and those early teams played less games so it was easier statistically.      In the ENTIRE BigTen there have only been a small handful of teams to go undefeated such as ..the 2012 Buckeyes at 12-0the 2002 Buckeyes at 14-0 1994 Penn State 12-0 So it’s roughly 1 team throughout the ENTIRE BigTen goes undefeated every 10+ years and statistically about once in a lifetime a particular team does that. (OSU happens to be the exception)     Keeping in mind it wasn’t until the early 1970’s that college teams were playing double digit numbers of opponents (10+ games) on a regular basis so many of the teams previous to these won less than 10 games. If they were undefeated it was like 9-0 or 8-0 or whatever.This is gonna be a good game and I’m glad us WI fans have this team to root for during a year we’ve been beat down in professional football.</blockquote>
