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.

Well, a hangover from peach bellini vodka and cranberry juice won, and I napped on the couch for basically the whole day. I had been thinking I was going to have absolutely NO content to discuss this week, since I slept through all the football games, the World Series isn't set to start until today, the Bulls don't give me much to talk about right now, etc., etc. Then, much to my surprise, the sports gods answered and my favorite blog site (besides mine duh), Barstool Sports, was done dirty by ESPN by cancelling Barstool Van Talk (you'll see me refer to this as BVT throughout the post) after one episode. For those of you who don't know, Barstool Sports is a multifunctional sports blog. I say multifunctional because their content has expanded from creating content sole...
