Wow, what a GIFT this year is for Wisconsin.
They absolutely cannot help but win the (very appropriately named) Leaders Division.

Oklahoma is going to DESTROY Notre Dame.

That would make me very happy

Northwestern is looking at 9-3 or even 10-2 at this point.

They'll lose both of their next 2 games.

Sparty beat Wisconsin. So.. Indiana (1-3, 3-5) controls its own destiny for the B1G Championship Game. #B1G

I bet that was a fun watch.

Notre Dame has proven they're a real BCS threat tonight. Michigan slipped badly at Nebraska, looks like Wisky-Nebraska in the B1G Championship game. Or Indiana-Nebraska :laugh:. All joking aside, that is possible. If Indiana picks up a win at home against Iowa next week, they'll be tied with the Badgers for the Leaders Division lead.

Don't hate Northwestern because they have a better coach and program than us. They could very easily win their next two games, especially if D. Robinson doesn't play. They can score with any team in the B1G. MSU has a great D, but a terrible O. The Nebraska loss could really come back to haunt them, especially when they were in control, late.

Better luck next time

Thoughts and prayers out to Marcus Lattimore. A great player and a great person. I wish him a full recovery, even if he never plays again. Guys like him and Corey Lewis work so hard to recover from injuries and fulfill their football dreams. I hope these guys take full advantage of their academic opportunities, as we see how fast a football career can be altered.

I was sure hoping this would happen and was disappointed that this played out differently. I'm not counting on it but am hoping that USC can pony up and beat ND in a few weeks.

I'll have to say that ND has shown me something this year. By now, I thought they would have at least 3 losses. Only wish the Illini could go 8-0 someday.

Yes, ND has been impressive this year. I have to give them that nod. I thought that ND might lose on the road against a worthy OU opponent and possibly at home to Michigan or Stanford but they have performed well. It would be nice for the Illini to go 8-0 someday. I can't imagine how great it would be to be in the BCS mix.
