For us I see it as a help.

Playing in the B10 all year is like playing with ankle weights on. When/if we get refs that call a game that more resembles basketball than football then it just lets our talented players play. Big advantage for us.

If not we are already used to that MSU/Wiksy thugball shit so we can play it if we have to. Not all teams can play both styles, we can.

that's something to consider. not only are these teams not used to playing this type of game, but most officiating crews won't allow it. i think the biggest issue is not how these teams play against it, but whether or not the officials will allow Wisco to play it.

along those same lines, i think the officiating in the B10 hurts us. if we get officials that call a tighter game than we are used to i think that will benefit our team.

Think about how Officiating crews can influence a game. Crews used to power conferences would allow about anything in a game between finesse teams , and vice versa. I have noticed in the past that Big ten teams were hurt by the crews from other conferences where they played a finess team.
That could make a big difference in a closer rated game.

Honestly, do you guys see Florida losing to any of these guys?

I really don't think they're as great as people make them to be, and I really want to pick an upset, but there are no teams in the region that make it easy to pick.

Maryland? Oregon?


I also don't think that Wisconsin will make it far at all.

Those are probably the teams with the best chance to beat Fla
