How did winning this game, albeit badly, keep them from a better bowl? By my charts, only a loss would have made a difference (or maybe a Minnesota win). Despite all that, UW will get a better bowl than Minnesota. I should add that I find some of the lesser Bowls to be a better Bowl trip than the more prestigious Bowls, but I am usually overruled. We will be there to cheer the Badgers on, regardless (most likely Tempe, but maybe SA or Orlando).
Settle down boys, let's just enjoy it and let the longest running series in the nation play out over the next few years.
