no one if forgetting they were just not part of the hypothetical as the other teams listed (ND and Clemson) would have beaten them before the scenario kicked in. .
13-0 Wisconsin
- Thread starter upj87
- Start date
uh, no they could not have played ND's schedule as they are in a conference. the only things UW has to blame is the suckiness that is the Big 10 West and not playing just one difficult ooc game....
If they go 13-0, they are in. I think they'll lose to Iowa or Michigan and then lose the B1G title game too.
The suckiness of the B1G West is the reason their program has been successful. Otherwise they would be a barely top 25 team all these years and maybe not even that.
The Big 10 had to set things up the way they did because they couldn't split OSU, or MSU from Michigan. The only alternative would be to go non geographical, and take PSU away from OSU, and UM.
Not exactly. They have one "rival" crossover, and two games that rotate. (Don't know who their rival is).
BYU was a good opponent when the games were scheduled.
I would have thought they could have kept Mich and MSU together but moved OSU, keeping OSU and Mich as a permanent crossover game at end of the season. But maybe they didn’t like the idea of it leading to OSU and Mich playing 2 weeks in a row reinforcing the idea of the Big 2 and little everyone else.
If 'Bama loses the SEC Championship Game to Georgia, I can maybe... maybe see undefeated big ten champ Wisconsin getting in over them. If UGA loses the SEC 'ship to 'Bama, I really don't see how Wisconsin still gets in over them (assuming 'bama doesn't comeoltely obliterate them if they lose.) Georgia will have a good enough resume to get in with 1 loss. Wisconsin will barely have a resume at all even if they're undefeated.
Yep, their OOC scheduling practice hasn’t been much different than anybody else. Although not top notch, BYU would normally be a decent OOC opponent. The last 2 years their one tough OOC opponent has been Alabama and LSU.
The weak OOC is a problem, but was scheduled a few years ago. Since there are just 2 good teams in the B10 west, their whole SOS looks bad. But that doesn't mean THEY are bad. Taylor is really good, and their OL has the same DNA as all the Wisky teams since Alvarez. Earthmovers. They may end up vs. a flawed Big10 East foe in their champ game. Anything is possible. PSU's OOC isn't much, either.
There is no chance they go 13-0. They will lose to either Iowa, Michigan, or the B10 title game. Penn State exposed their supposed excellent defense last year when they couldn't hold onto a 28-7 lead. Chryst had that deer in the headlights look we were accustomed to seeing when he was here.
Chryst is a putz and I hold him in about the same regard as Graham. Not sure why he gets any love on this board.
He may be boring....but he understands offense pretty well. We beat the national champs last year with HIS kids, so he wasn't as bad a recruiter as people think. Maybe you'd rather have a showbiz-type, like Fleck???
I know age is catching up but Peterman, Biz, Price, Jarrett etc weren't Chryst's recruits. Pitt doesn't win 6 games with Chryst's QBs.
Cheap shot?? Sweet......age won't ever make me that loathsome. Grow up, little man.
