Curious why you think this



Their lines were both big and strong. They were getting some solid push in the first half against a really good ND front 7, and it took a half for the ND offense to start moving the ball despite having one of the best offensive lines in the country.

Wisconsin's 3 hardest remaining games are @Penn State, vs. USC, and @Iowa. If they go 1-2, they will end up 9-3. That should keep them in talks for somewhere between 20-25.

I see. A combination of being improved on the field and also the schedule.

Fair enough. I still view them in the 6-7 win range max, but appreciate your viewpoint

I am not convinced yet that they will be in the top 25, but their defense was saltier than I think most maybe thought coming into the season.

Joseph (if he stays healthy) is going to present problems to a lot of teams on that schedule. ND has genuine NFL caliber players at all three levels on D, and he was moving the ball some on us. We had to play contain on him until the very end which limited defensive explosiveness.

I am in wait and see mode on them. They spent $25M in the offseason on that roster and have some dudes (Joseph, Posa, Coleman; Sama is a nice RB). Who knows - they did the same thing last year against Indiana wherein they gave IU all sorts of fits in the first half then IU pulled away - but it's not hard to squint at that schedule and see 8+ wins.

a B1G schedule can be similar garbage


Kind of nitpicking one specific B1G team here. Most B1G schedules are significantly more difficult than ND's.

No talent at quarterback which they paid $12 million this year to play. It’s similar to the Cleveland browns quarterback situation.

What a stupid thread.

The Big10 has 3 of the top 6 ranked teams in the country, including #1 Ohio State.
But of course you cherry pick the one team in the Big10 that doesn't play any of them and then conclude that Big10 schedules are easy.

Mega conferences need to have Upper and Lower divisions, decided by previous year's results, and make schedules accordingly.

Florida

They’ve had a losing record the last 4 seasons combined, coming off a 4 win season. Auburn gets them at home too.

Auburn does have a tough slate. Ole Miss in there too. But if recent history tells you much, lot of these SEC squads are probably overrated. I think LSU is probably going to be for real, Georgia too. But ole Miss probably falls apart with that half retarded coach.

At best, you could say that’s about as tough as Ohio state playing all those ranked road games, but if Indiana and Texas hold as top 5 teams, there won’t be anyone else that plays two of those on the road

At least 9 SEC teams would go undefeated every year with ND's joke schedule.

They needed ref help and a Hail Mary to beat WMU. They are arse for sure.

How bad does Oklahoma suck? 115 yards and down 10-0 at half to a second rate unranked big ten turd that cheated to beat western Michigan
