I assume UW is going to drop out of the rankings after this game (maybe they hang onto #24/25) if they lose, which will of course then mean UM won't get the "beat a ranked road team" medal if they win next weekend even though PSU, for example, would get that claim.

It's why I hate all of the "did/didn't do X" stuff if it isn't applied to the end of the year.  Beating a garbage team in week 1 versus week 5 doesn't fundamentally change the badness of the team.

What a humiliating loss this would be for Wisconsin.

They will try to right the ship against us and start out with their hair on fire, but if we get them behind all their self doubts will creep in and they'll self-destruct.  They are a fragile team at this point.

We’ll find out for sure next week. Are they going to crumble and fall apart with already being 1-2, staring down the barrel at a possible 1-3 start? Or do they rally around each other and come out pissed off and desperate to right the ship, which is exactly what they’d be able to do by knocking Michigan off next week?

The cynic in me says it’ll be the latter because that is exactly what would happen to Michigan, that Wisconsin would come out fired up, focused, and 100% on point in front of their home crowd, in their best game of the season so far. But I don’t know. No idea what their mentality will be.

Just mentally preparing myself for Mertz to just awaken his inner Montana/Brady and go 30-35 for 350 yards and three TDs. BPONE has me by the balls.

BG picks to end the game. Did the Minnesota QB even look where the defenders were? He literally threw it right to him.

I love to see Notre Dame's strength of schedule keep taking hits. They're 4-0, but their opponents records are a combined 4-8. They have beaten:

Oregon St.

Eastern Michigan

UConn

Norfolk St.
