At this point in the season, what finish would make you happy?
Im already happy #RTB
My answer is not one of the choices. I'd be happy if we split last 2 and then won bowl game. End up 7-6.
Bring home the axe and I will smile all winter and spring. Beat Wisconsin and shut those ****ing cheeseheads up!
I'm imagining a scenario where the Gophers beat Wisc and it keeps them out of the playoffs.
For a rivalry that has been semi dead due to its one sided nature, that would fire it up for a long long long time....
Assuming they beat Michigan this week, they'd still be 11-1 and headed to the Big Ten CCG against Ohio St. If they beat the Buckeyes in the CCG, I can't think of a realistic scenario where they still don't get the #4 seed.
Only one that's even possible would be if Alabama loses to Auburn on a fluke, then Georgia beats Auburn in the SEC CCG. Then you'd have Georgia, Clemson/Miami winner, Oklahoma (assuming wins out), and either Wisconsin or an 11-1 Alabama with no CCG.
Again, my scenario has Wisconsin beating Michigan (easily a top 25 program) and then beating a likely top 10 Ohio St in the championship game.
We can just agree to disagree, but I'm betting that I'd be right and they'd still get the #4 seed. Back room politics also play a part, whether we like it or not, and the Big Ten is rivaled by no other conference (even the SEC) in getting what it wants behind closed doors ...
Not with the Badgers schedule. I could show you on the schedules why it is darn near impossible, but that isn't the topic of this thread so I'll just leave it at this: There is just as good of a chance (probably better) that Wisconsin goes undefeated and doesn't get in as there is that they lose to the Gophers and still get in.
If you want to chat about it on an appropriate thread I'm more than happy to lay it out for you.
Bring home the axe and I will smile all winter and spring. Beat Wisconsin and shut those ****ing cheeseheads up!
