Wisconsin plays Notre Dame in 2020 & 2021.  Alabama is scheduled for 2024 & 2025.

Notre Dame...sorry, overrated every damn year.  Baba will be fun, Dabo should be on the sidelines by then.

Considering they play the three best teams in the west this year I guess you’d just cry about it even if they were in the east, given that you’re crying about it now.

They just won a meaningful game on a national stage.

The three best teams in the west is like being the tallest midget in the circus.  The West is awful each and every year.  Nebraska..LOL.  Iowa is decent team.  Who is the third best team...Northwestern...my God...or Minnesota...again, my God....murderer’s row.

PAC 12 is terrible.  Bowl games are sweet and nice....Pinstripe Bowl...ok.  Cotton against Western Michigan...yummy dessert.  An 8-6 USC team.

Come on

They have also been in 3 of the last 5 Big Ten championship games and lost them all, including one by the score of 59-0.  They did manage to beat an overrated Nebraska team one year.  If they want the love, when a game that matters.

So the only teams that don’t suck in your definition over the last half decade are Clemson and Alabama.

I meant the reverse. They play the top 3 teams in the east this year yet you’re still crying. So if they played in the east you’d just cry anyway.

Source where I said that....because we know I didn’t.  If I was like Lenny or MU82 I would throw around the liar charge, but I know you are just exaggerating and I don’t want to be like those two.

Again, would you rather be in the west or the east....be honest.   They have a massive advantage each year before the season even starts which makes their out of conf scheduling so baffling.  I can excuse Bama and others scheduling a few cream puffs because they play such a brutal conf schedule....but Wisconsin should be scheduling a tough non conference because the conference slate is so bad with the west.

Plenty of quality SEC, Big 12 schools to try and schedule.  I’m just happy for the fans the rules changed and they can no longer schedule the FCS teams anymore.  Wofford and the likes were quite the resume in the early part of the decade

They’re literally the only two teams who have won the games that have mattered over the last 5 years. So no you didn’t say the words that Bama and Clemson are the only teams in football that don’t suck, you did say WI sucks because they don’t win the games that matter, and Clemson and Bama are the only ones that have.

WI plays the top 3 teams in the East this year. So East or West really doesn’t matter this year. Their schedule will not be the issue.

I hate UW and want to see them lose every sporting event they play in in any sport. But to just be like “ehh their opponent sucks” every single win they have, no matter how good their opponent is, is lazy.

I look forward to their football team looking like they’re going to break through to the CFP this year, only to lose out on it by either getting blown out or losing on a Hail Mary.

How far ahead do they typically schedule?  I mean in basketball, it is not uncommon to tweak the quality of your non-con based on the perceived talent on your own team.

Years in advance. Current talent isn’t really a consideration.

Sorry, but I would call a Big Ten championship game a game that matters.

Except when Wisconsin wins. And then it’s just Wisconsin beating an overrated team. As you already stated.

Aka when a game being big fits your agenda it’s a big game, and when a game being big doesn’t fit your agenda it isn’t big.

???  Not sure I understand.  Last time they were undefeated was 1988 and I was in college.  I know about 7 or 8 years ago they were and got annihilated and totally outclassed in the BCS title because they were overrated that year as well.

Gang, the only team that has even a remote chance of making the Nat Champ tournament from the Big 10 is The Ohio State University.

No one. No one else will. Michigan is badly overrated. Wisconsin will get slaughtered when they play tOSU and any SEC team.

Right now, it's Clemson, Alabama, Georgia and tOSU. Doubt anyone other than LSU could crash this party.

Wades, you still haven't answered (that I have seen), would you rather be in the west or east?

Second, they lost the last three...they won back in the day against Nebraska.  It wasn't even a true title back then.  UW-madison went 8-6 that year.  Ohio State was undefeated, but didn't go.  Neither did Penn State. Both were banned. So Third place Wisconsin went.  A meaningless game

So 3 or 4 posts ago you said the B1G Title game matters. And now you’re saying the B1G Title game was meaningless. Very confusing. Which is it? If it’s meaningless like you are now arguing then only Bama and Clemson don’t suck for the past half decade. If it’s meaningful like you posted just a few minutes before you said it was meaningless then Wisconsin won back to back B1G Title games so I guess they have won meaningful games.

Yes. Regular season. Outclassed, yes. Again, not overrated when you go undefeated the schedule they play.

Some teams have scheduling agreements set for as far out as 2030.

How is it confusing, the year they were in it last that they won it, the top teams didn’t even participate.  The divisions were also totally different...Not east and west like now.  And of course you still won’t answer the question every Big Ten sports fan knows....the west is a joke and you would much rather be playing in the west than the east.

UCLA vs Washington State was crazy tonight.  UCLA trailed by 32 half way in 3rd period....took the lead with 8 min to go in 4th, 60-56.

Wazzu took lead at 63-60.  Chip Kelly with a very odd call....UCLA with a 36 yard FG with 2:40 left, but he opts to go for it on 4th and 5 and fails. 

Wazzu then fumbles....UCLA takes lead 67-63 with 1:07 left.  Wazzu QB threw for 9 TD’s and they lost.

Ding, ding, ding.  It’s possible a 4th team not in that list could sneak in but they aren’t winning the title.  The 5 teams you listed are the only legit title contenders.  I’d possibly add Auburn who has a very good defense but a green QB.  If they can develop him, they could sneak in.

As for Michigan, they were never the 11th best team in the nation.  The AP and Coaches polls are nonsense and anyone that uses them are silly.  They replaced almost all their defensive starters and have no depth on the d-line at the moment due to injuries and youth.  They will struggle with power teams like Army and Wisconsin all year.  They have 3 NFL wideouts but the QB is damaged goods.  They should move on to Dylan McCaffey, Christian’s brother
