FINALLY

After weeks and weeks of wondering when in the hell the College Football Playoff Committee would respect Wisconsin, we FINALLY get what we're waiting for as a fanbase. An undefeated Wisconsin is FINALLY in the Top 4 of the Top 25 CFP Rankings. Week in and week out, the Badgers have proved themselves as a top tier competitor. Sure, there's questions at the quarterback position with Hornibrook being so inconsistent, but this team is complete. The defense is one of the top in the country and Jonathan Taylor has been voted the B1G Freshman of the week a record breaking EIGTH time . Taylor has been talked as potentially being a fifth Heisman candidate, that's how good the kid is. We had 13 players nominated for First, Second, and Third team All Big Ten, and a handful of Honorable Mentions (for reference, Nebraska had zero). My point is, I'm glad the Committee has finally seen that we're a team that deserves the spot we EARNED. We beat our opponents (ranked or unranked) ...

Grateful Red

After watching the first three Wisconsin Badgers basketball games of the seasons, I thought it to be necessary to divulge number one, my love for them, and number two, the fact that they are the underdogs of NCAA men's basketball. Last night, the boys took an L against a very good Xavier team. But, if you watched, you learned a lot. Here's what I took in.  Brad Davison can take literally any shot he wants and he'll probably make it. You may not know that he's a freshman from Minnesota and was a quarterback of his high school football team. The kid is insane. He's something special and I can't wait to see what he does for Wisconsin basketball.  If you double Ethan Happ, he'll find a way to make an assist. If you double Ethan Happ, he'll also find a way to score on you, even if he's under the glass.  Khalil Iverson is the silent dunk assassin.  Aleem Ford can come off the bench, shoot the 3, and make it more than once. He'll be important com...

The College Football Playoff Rankings

College football fans finally have what they've been wanting; the playoff rankings! Now in my opinion, the playoffs need to be expanded from four teams to allow a more competitive edge. The NCAA and Committee will get there, once they see some more $$$ coming out of the four team playoff. So, four teams or eight, I'm here to break it down. 1. Georgia - If there's any fan base that is shocked to see themselves at the top, it's UGA. Coming off of a 42-7 demolition of Florida, the Bulldogs have been red hot so far this season. Other notable wins include a one point close call versus Notre Dame and 41 point shut out of Tennessee. Their starting lineup consists of mainly seniors, which is always a recipe for success when you're an SEC team. I don't expect to see them at the number one spot, with Bama and Ohio State coming for blood. 2. Alabama - Do I really need to analyze this? Not really, so I'm not going to go into too much detail. Bama is a top contender ...
