something looked fishy about the running attack of wisconsin. all of a sudden, someone that could do 400 in a game looked like he was just happy to not get hit very hard at all. the school cashed a check.
wisconsin wins that game (as the odds and everything looked like) and the big 10 loses out on the playoffs. no amount of whining and crying from barry alvarez and tom osbourne would have had wisconsin jump everyone and their mother into that fourth spot.
No doubt they did. I don't know if the fix was in or Wisconsin just quit after they got behind, but it says a lot when you can't just dismiss the theory that the game was fixed. A 35-7 win would have been a lot more impressive than 59-0 was. But I guess it worked. TCU or Baylor has good reason to be pissed.
I didn't watch this game, so I can't say anything definitive, but when you look at how well Wisconsin had been playing, how unimpressive OSU has been at times against weak opponents, and the fact that OSU had just lost their starting QB, 59-0 just doesn't smell right.
