Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
1) The PAC-12 is currently 13-0.
2) Washington State has to be pissed off that no other conference wants them, including the B1G.
3) I'm sure that they would love to kick Cheese's ass to thumb their nose at the B1G.
4) They are at home.
5) Some guy at Yahoo Sports thinks they have a chance too:
Wisconsin has received a lot of hype following the hire of Luke Fickell, but I’m not very high on this team aside from the running back pairing of Braelon Allen and Chez Mellusi. Those two combined for 298 yards and four touchdowns on 30 carries last week in the win over Buffalo and should have success against a Washington State defense that lost a lot of production at defensive tackle and linebacker.
However, there wasn’t much else to be impressed by on the Wisconsin side. Tanner Mordecai and the passing game were underwhelming, and Buffalo — a mediocre MAC team — had some success moving the ball. Now the Badgers are going to take a cross-country trip to play in a very tough environment. Expecting the Badgers to win, let alone cover this spread, is a big ask.
Wisconsin’s defense this year just isn’t as good as perceived. The Badgers lost a lot from their front seven, including DT Keeanu Benton and pass-rushing LB Nick Herbig (both now with the Steelers), and have questions at corner.
Washington State, which is 9-4 ATS as a home underdog since 2015, brought in Ben Arbuckle as offensive coordinator, and the group looked great in a Week 1 win over Colorado State. I think the Cougars can win this game outright, so I’ll gladly take the points. I lean to the over, too, but +6.5 is the official play (even though I suspect 7 might be available later in the week).
Pick: Washington State +6.5

Says a lot about Tennessee’s “big win” overI was going to take James Madison as my week 2 upset pick until I realized they are favored by a TD @ Virginia.
