Sports Illustrated had us at #10 prior to this win. I think the CFB Committee will think more like them than the AP or Coaches who always treat us poorly.
I believe we belong in the top ten. I don't know what the voters will think though.
Yep. Who cares about the polls. Let’s go 1-0 against MSU. This team is playing some very good football. One game at a time.
Are you talking about the same Wisconsin team that put up near 100 points on Illinois and Michigan (granted neither is great but Wisconsin's offense is good).
Illinois looked quite a bit better yesterday but I think the point about the Offense is true. Great defense is under rated. Most people like high scoring games and can only see the dominance of a high score. You will always hear people marvel about a team that scores 40 points but not much about a team that holds it's opponents to 7, but which is more rare? Even for NU most people would say our victory over Maryland was our best game.
On the contrary, I think we'll get a lot of credit for stopping Mertz the Wunderkind and the perceived juggernaut _isconsin offense. Turns out Meatchicken and Illannoys have awful defenses but the sconnies made themselves look good feeding on them, so that helps our image.
Do you think NU can score highly
I was not on my best behavior during yesterday’s game. It would have been fun if I had settled down.
Yes, I think Wisconsin has the 2nd best defense in the Big Ten. Their defense is only slightly worse than ours.
