I absolutely think the Badgers ARE competing at the top level right now.  They lost 1 game where they had the ball with a chance to win on the final possession.  They just won the Orange Bowl against a national power from Florida.  No, the Badgers didn't win the national title and they weren't the #1 team, but to me they were close enough that I absolutely think they can get to that title game someday if the right circumstances occur.  They've been knocking on that door, I could see them breaking that door down at some point even though it likely won't happen this year. 

One thing I will say though.... If Chryst leaves in the next couple years, then I think UW could easily fall back to being just good instead of excellent which they were this season.  I think he's a special coach, and as long as he's there, I think every few years (Maybe say every 3 years or so) he'll field a team similar to what we had this past year and be able to compete with everyone.

I have always been one to get on the Badgers case for losing in big games.  Sure they haven't broken through in the Big Ten Title game (probably because I am there every year and they have yet to win when I see them in person EVER) but they have a pretty good streak of bowl wins going and last year's Orange Bowl win was a thing of beauty to me.

fightphoe93,  I also have thought the same thing and I do worry about UW not paying their coaches enough to keep them around.  I of course know nothing about what Chryst thinks but I wonder if the pull of being home is enough to keep him happy or would a big time blue blood program with an bottomless wallet lure him away?
