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.
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...
