So the first playoff rankings will come out tomorrow at 7pm EST 6 PM CST so what are your predictions?  Do you think the Badgers will even come close to the top 4?

I know this is pretty early for me to be posting this with a ton of football to be played but I thought I would start the topic.

My prediction is:

#1 Alabama

#2 Georgia

#3 Ohio State

#4 Clemson

#5 Notre Dame

#6 Oklahoma

#7 PSU

#8 Miami

#9 UW

#10 TCU

Yes I truly do believe UW will get disrespected that much.

Ned, I don't think it would happen but I would love it if UW gets another shot at PSU and McSorley.  I was at the Big Ten championship game last year and it was unreal how that guy would just chuck the ball of for grabs and the PSU receivers would always come down with it.  

If UW wins out (and I have a hunch it is an if) I think they will be facing O$U which is something I don't want.  My wife is a huge O$U fan and I live among them so it is hell when UW plays O$U.

I could see OSU falling victim to that trap game with Iowa.  Iowa isn't great, but they do play tough at home and I think they'll hang in there with them right to the end.  It's kind of up to J.T. Barrett.  If you get the JT Barrett that finished the game last week, OSU wins.  If you get the JT Barrett that can look very very mediocre as a passer, Iowa's got a shot to pull the upset.

Wow Heckler, damn close!

Flip flop 1 and 2,  8 and 10, and push O$U down to 7 and you nailed it.

Bucky at 9 as most of us thought would be the case.

Just keep winning Bucky!

It is quite interesting to me that UW is kind of a hot topic with some talking heads.  Some of them seem appalled that UW is even in the conversation and others make it a point to say they deserve to get in if they win out.

There is a ton of football to be played and I hope that UW stays grounded and just win what is in front of them and get some extra motivation from the people that doubt them. 

FIGHPHOE93, I completely agree on OSU playing at Iowa.  OSU very rarely goes on the road but this one will be a classic trap game for them.  I don't know much about Iowa but I am hoping and praying they pull it off and I NEVER root for Iowa.

Iowa played Penn State down to the wire albeit that was a night game.  The Hawks wrecked Michigan's season a couple of years ago in a similar situation when they were highly ranked.   

Not sure they are a "good" team but have proven they can rise up from time to time and I have to believe Penn State took a lot out of Ohio State this past week. 

17 seems like a lot 

 

Iowa driving mid 3Q up 14.  O$U sure looking like they are suffering from a Penn State hangover not to mention they have taken some hits with injuries.  What is crazy to me is how bad that Buckeyes defense looks?   They have given up a lot of points this season which seems a bit uncharacteristic. 

I see this possibly as good news for Wisconsin.  Iowa will certainly leap into the Top 25 if they can hang on and you know they will have a hangover effect next week against Bucky.   Wisconsin needs quality wins to boost their playoff resume.  I would say Northwestern probably qualifies but if Iowa wins today and Wisconsin beats them next week that's OK.
