They were up 31-10 on northwestern with four minutes left and gave up two garbage tds.


They also only had about 300 yards of offense and 13 first downs.

I do believe you were right on Illinois but they still won that handily.


Another 300 yard game

If you changed uniforms and you had the exact same performance but the jersey said Alabama, Clemson, penn state, Ohio state, Michigan, Oklahoma, usc, etc they would have been number one going into the conference championship games


I disagree. I don’t think any team with that schedule would have been ranked any higher - assuming their position in preseason polls were the same. They were disrespected because 7 of their 12 opponents had losing records, not because of the logo on their jersey.

They were disrespected because of their logo. Wisconsin has a better strength of schedule on all the computer sites than Alabama (after Ohio state game?)


I don’t know what yards of offense means under Tuscaloosa impressive meter. People get a boner over Clemson and they lost to Syracuse. The badgers manhandled all the “Syracuse’s” on their schedule at least

There is Effing way if Alabama played the same schedule and had the exact same performances including the number one defense in the country statistically (stats are for losers) as Wisconsin did this year that they would be number 5 in the country. They would be number one at 12-0. I have no doubt about that. And I bet most people on here would say the same thing
