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) by an average of 22 points all season. I don't care who you are, that's not normal in Wisconsin football or football in general (unless you're SEC dominant teams where defense isn't as revered as it is in the B1G). So, cheers to you, CFP Committee. We bow to you this once, and look forward to taking on the Buckeyes of Ohio State this Saturday, December 2nd @ 7 PM.
If you've come here because I shamelessly requested you read my blog, then welcome! If you're here by chance and chance only, then welcome to you too! My name is Kayla, for those of you who don't know me, and I'm a Chicago sports fan living in Wisconsin, which is as painstaking as you think it might be. I'm writing this fresh off of a Cubbies loss in the NLCS, but I have no words so we'll just go ahead and skip that take (other than we had no bullpen so...). I decided that there aren't enough women involved in sports blogging, so I wanted to go ahead and start my own. I interpret the quote "Hooray sports! Do the thing! Win the points!" as satire. If, like my mom, you're unfamiliar with this or the term "sportsball" (I'm talking to you, Super Bowl party goers that don't actually like or enjoy football), they are often used by people who are not necessarily educated on the sport they are watching. Or, if you're like some...
