Most important game in the modern history of Wisconsin football, IMO.

Simple poll up top. Who wins?

I think our chubby kicker misses a FG as time expires and we lose by 1 or 2.

I'm going to go into this one with the underdog mindset. They've won 5 straight against us, most within 7 points, and things just seem to break their way when we play them. They also looked really good with their backup.

But yeah, I agree, this game is enormous. I'd love to avenge that disaster last year in the championship game and that tough OT finish last year against them.

If the Badgers had a quarterback, a national championship would actually be attainable this year. They don't, however, so I fully expect another Big10 title loss, and a failed opportunity to reach the CFP. Just being honest. I hope I'm wrong...

It's hard to fully invest given the Badgers propensity for breaking hearts. I think this is where the magic carpet ride ends but Hornibrook gaining some confidence this week is giving me hope.

I like how all the comments are negative but the votes are 9-4

The Badgers defense is good enough they shouldn't be blown out and can keep the game close. Let's keep rolling. I'm sure the committee and media are hoping Wisconsin loses because then they can justify Alabama in the playoffs but lets force their hand.

Yes, that's true their ability to squander leads and close games against good opposition the last 5-10 years has maybe been unparalleled in college football.

But at the same time, this team seems different. Any time the momentum starts turning they answer. They've shown mental toughness. So I sense IF they have a big lead, late lead, or maybe even it's a 50-50 in the 4th; they'll win.

The question to me is more about if they're truly good enough to be in that position with our qb and the staunchest test by a considerable margin we'll have faced this season. Doing it against OSU would be that much sweeter on account they've been the most common recipient of our choking tendency during this span.

Urban Meyer is a clown.

A lot of good bulletin board material to feed on this week. Certainly motivation isnt going to be a problem.

Did even better in the coaches poll. Like 8 points from 2nd.

Great accomplishment that I hope the kids remember after this weekend ..... should it end that is.
Hope the fans remember too for that matter. Easy to forget these are kids who aren't even old enough to drink. Save the true criticism for the pros.

This defense is different. And the offense while they turn the ball over, they do have a tendency to go right back the next drive and score. They don't fold.

Cannot wait for this damn game. Get a badgers vs Ohio state basketball game at 4pm too.

Post #16 » by **paulpressey25** » Mon Nov 27, 2017 4:53 am

Heart with the Badgers but head tells me OSU. In recent years OSU many times has that extra gear of playmakers we've not had.

Hope to be wrong though.

Im pretty confident in the defense to get stops. I dont have a whole lot of confidence in the offense.

Post #18 » by **MickeyDavis** » Mon Nov 27, 2017 5:00 am

Badgers currently 6 point dogs

Good gawd lay off Hornibrooke. If Michigan had him instead of Okorn they win that game. OSU isnt great. Just good.

Iowa’s offense put up 48 points and 487 yards on them a week before we made them look completely inept.

Which team is going to win the B1G Title Game?
