Final BCS standings (after bowls): Big Ten 1, 2, 3? |
|
For all you Big Ten fans - we have a change to finish the season 1, 2, 3: Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin (with our only losses to each other)
That depends on a couple of things -
Wisconsin has to blow out their Capital One opponent (by the way, Wisconsin isn't in a BCS game and Wake Forest is? Good system...). Wisconsin has arguably the best defense in the country and only lost to Michigan (and led at the half). At the end of the season they really focussed on their receivers and have really come around in the passing game. Wisconsin will prove themselves on the 1st.
Michigan v Ohio State for the championship - While it is possible Michigan could be #2 if they won the Rose Bowl - it would be unlikely.
Michigan would have to win the Championship - if not, they would fall to #3.

Apparently there can be two teams at max from a conference in the BCS. Ohio State and Michigan are clearly BCS-worthy. Also, Wisconsin never beat a ranked opponent.

(still grumbling about my Hawkeyes.)
That said, the BCS only allows two teams at max from each conference. Few will argue that Ohio State and Michigan both deserved BCS berths. Having seen Wisconsin play in person, they're a damn good team, worthy of the BCS in almost any other year.
The cards just played out unusually this year.

4. Wisc. played one ranked team and they lost to them |
|
that 11-1 record is not what it seems.
The SEC was by far the best conference...as usual

in my opinion. I'll be happy to watch OSU beat down an SEC team. Michigan has a tough game against USC and I can't remember who Wisconsin WILL BEAT
