Wisconsin is OVERRATED- Detroit Free Press

"No. 14 Wisconsin: Sure, No. 5 Ohio State is the most overrated Big Ten team after Braxton Miller’s injury. But the Badgers also are getting an inordinate amount of love for a team without a discernible passing game and one trying to replace defensive leadership."

I've said as much. This isn't a great Wisconsin team by any means. No proven QB, no proven WR, new guys in the front seven. Their hype says more about the weakness of the Big Ten than the make-up of its team.
Wisconsin is 2-9 all-time versus the SEC. By no means does Wisconsin come close to the talent LSU has. They play a 3-4 defense with a sub-285 DT, and two sub-280 DEs.
LSU should win by a good bit. LSU just can't beat itself. This Wisconsin team can't win without help.
Noteworthy: South Carolina was being hyped for its OL and RB, a la Wisconsin.
EDIT: If LSU does beat Wisconsin pretty badly, don't get overly excited.

I mean completely agree with you, but arent we being hyped for our OL and RB. I do think we win this game by 2 possessions though

Maybe so. The cool thing is we'll get to actually find out.

a 10-14 point win when they are 5.5 point favorites isnt really that much of a stretch prediction. It's not like he said we'll win by 40.

Sure, but there's also hype for T. White, R. Robinson, D, Hunter, K. Alexander, T. Quinn, T, Dural, A. Peterson .....
Our defense is experienced.

LSU's oline is the real deal lucille

I know that. It's just funny how he tried to make a point when you can say the same thing about lsu.

LSU's hype is much more than OL and RB. Lots of respect for WRs (Dural, Peterson, Dupre, Quinn, etc.) DEs (Hunter, Rasco, Bower), LBs (Alexander), CBs (White, Robinson), Ss (Mills, Adams)..
Basically, QB play and DTs will determine how far LSU will go. Oh, and LaCouture was a true freshman who saw plenty of time last year at DT.
Oh, yeah, LSU's hype is exactly like South Carolina and Wisconsin's.
I watched the South Carolina preview on the SEC Network and I really don't think they talked about the defense (should have been an obvious sign) at all while picking them to win the SEC. It was Davis, Thompson, and the OL over and over. Btw, Dylan Thompson sucks.
