The Badgers stayed in the Top 10 in both polls Sunday. Either we really impressed the voters by taking O$U into overtime or every team from 11 on down really sucks. Nebraska also popped into the Top 10 @ 8 in the AP and 9 in the Coaches. That will only last for 2 weeks.

Win out....get some help....and then knock either Michigan or Ohio State out of the play-off.
Good year.
Pretty much my thoughts. Need to roll the rest of this schedule...
I think the strength of schedule component really plays into their ranking even if they lost some of those games.
Florida State at 5-2 isn't far behind at 13 but they have had almost as tough a schedule as UW. They got stomped by a top 10 Louisville team but beat Ole Miss and Miami - both close to top 10 teams at the time they played them and lost a close one to a decent UNC team that is now 22.
Arkansas and Oklahoma follow similar logic. Both teams have 2 losses, but have played some very good teams - the Razorbacks have played against 4 top 15 teams and split and OU has played against 3 top 15 teams and still has Baylor and WVU to go - teams which are 9 and 12 respectively.
You know I have complained for years that Bucky never gets respect in the polls. Not now I won't complain about that. It is good to see the voters are seeing what kind of schedule they have had to play so far. And shoot in my opinion the schedule still is tough and I think in the next couple of weeks we will really see what UW is made of.
Nothing would make me happier than for UW to get another shot at O$U or Michigan in Indy. And I have tickets already to that game
