I hear you but Wisconsin won the Orange Bowl about six years ago and played in the Rose Bowl 4 or so years ago. Not not mention all the other major bowls and B10 championship games last 30 years. We haven’t been to a major bowl (Rose) in a half century. We can hate it but there is a reason...
Chryst had a pretty remarkable B10 record and did lead teams to Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl wins. And a trip to the Rose Bowl. If PJ did that we would name the stadium after him. Wisconsin fired Chryst.
The other aspect you are missing is we may never be setup with a schedule like this again. We got PSU at home but no OSU, Michigan or Michigan State. Won’t be true every year or maybe for decades again. We had a schedule to make it happen.
I don't see us finishing ahead of Iowa now in the B10 standings, and to be honest, I don't see 9 wins. Can we make the NCAAs with 8 wins and finishing behind Iowa (and perhaps Illinois)?
