Wow, a 3 point win over a 6-5 team...how impressive. Anyone who thinks Wisconsin is a top 10 team is kidding themselves after watching that.

Oh stop it. Wisconsin won on the road in spite of shooting themselves in the foot continually. We had a fumble when that was the last thing you should do and it negated a 1st down, and also another fumble in the 2nd half that negated at least a field goal if not a touchdown. There were numerous holding penalties, false starts, bogus p.i.'s or no p.i. calls, etc. Wisconsin was up against it, as well as the fact that Wisconsin hadn't beaten Iowa in about 5 games, and they still prevailed. Wisconsin was also without their starting QB and starting CB, and they picked on the backup QB. How would you guys have done at Iowa without Smith and Jenkins? Probably a close win as well. Wisconsin is absolutely a top 10 caliber team and will prove that when they hammer Tennessee or whatever SEC team in the Cap One Bowl just like last year. It will be a travesty that they aren't in a BCS game. Wisconsin should be favorites in the big ten next year unless all the players from tOSU and Michigan, eligible for the pros, decide not to go.

Wisconsin/Iowa is a HUGE rivalry game for those teams.... and don't forget that Stocco wasn't playing for the first time in 35 games so Wisconsin had to rely on their back-up QB who doesn't have that much experiance... big win for Wisky on the road.

Agreed. The fact that OSU, scUM, and Wisky can basically run the table against the rest shows how horrible the Big 10 is this year.

I agree with you that it was a pretty good win...First it was Iowa's senior day so you know they would come to play. Wisky's seniors have not beaten Iowa. They were without their starting QB.

I also think that Wisky could possibly move up into the top 7 teams, with all these teams losing. Overall they havent had a real tough schedule, but if you look at their only lose it is to one of the top 2 teams in the country.

As for Wisky being the favorites in the big ten, I wouldnt jump the gun to fast on that...

Wow, what a shock...you crawl back out of the woodwork in record time...knew it would work. So what you are saying is that you played terrible but still managed to win...congratulations, and enjoy the Capital One Bowl. I suppose since everyone else is losing today you'll be a top 10 team by default anyway.

I don't see any problem with Wisky being a top 10 team...Hell Rutgers is going to move up there and I would put Wisky up against Rutgers any day of the week..

Nah, given their record they should be in the Top 10...I just don't think they're one of the 10 best teams in the country. But as you say, if Rutgers and Boise State are in there, Wisconsin should be too. It really doesn't matter to me, I don't have anything in particular against the team...it's just so painfully easy to rile up Wisconsin fans with an inferiority complex, sometimes I just can't help myself.
