Why Wisconsin terrifies me (trap game)

Agree with much of what you said with a couple caveats: some of those post bye games had special circumstances. We’re easily ahead in both Iowa and Sparty. Injuries cost us the Iowa game and God brought in a massive T storm that really hurt us with Sparty.

And Illinois worst game ever? Don’t have words for that ……. Just 6-4!

And I would place the Temple game below Illinois,

But 100%….. this could be a very tough game. One big plus is our team plays well under the lights and the national spotlight.

LOL, remember that Wallace Breen poster?? I thought of his posts when you brought up Iowa 2021. He was adamant we were going to lose that Iowa game even if Clifford does not get hurt. Complete nonsense. I wonder what his new nic is??? Who could it be???

Also there has been mention of Rojas having a shoulder injury and that is why I hope Speca & Robinson get some PT.
I assume Wylie is still a no go.

I also have been asking about Wylie. I wish someone would just ask Franklin about him and Fisher. Our depth at LB is thin especially if Rojas is dealing with a shoulder. I assume Wylie is not practicing.

If both teams in the conference championship are undefeated then yes, that's likely. But with these unbalanced schedules I could also see it going to the 3rd place team, especially in years when one or both of the teams in the championship game have a loss. The tiebreakers are going to decide a lot at the end of the season now since we will now often have situations where the top teams do not play each other.

True but let's go through some scenarios.

1. Oregon wins out, OSU wins out, we are 11-1, we'll call IU 11-1. OSU wins ccg, I don't see us getting #5 over Oregon who lost in the ccg.

2. Oregon wins out, we beat OSU and are undefeated, IU loses to OSU. OSU would have 2 losses. Definitely the loser of ccg getting #5.

3. Oregon loses once, OSU beats us and IU. 4 teams with 1 loss. Tiebreaker creates the ccg, can't see the team who gets 2nd loss dropping below the 3/4 Big 10 team.

And this doesn't include any SEC scenarios, who might have a better 5 seed candidate by the time we get there.

Agreed--I also think we're 6 because of that
The only doubt I have is if Bama gives Texas one hell of a game they were ahead of us prior to the CCG they may stay there
Bama has Tennessee Ole Miss and LSU left--if they run that table (won't be easy) that's a lot of quality wins in theory

Good point on Bama but I think our brand from the B10 and one loss will trump their 2 losses. This presumes we have a decent loss vs OSU and don't look terrible while getting blown out.

John Stossel is the best "true teller" of my generation. Really, he just holds a light up to commonly accepted tropes. I recall, on 20/20 he had a segment on telling your kids not to accept candy from strangers. he had 20 sets of parents in a room and asked them if their kid would accept candy from a stranger. 20 out of 20 sets of parents said no way would their kid accept candy from a stranger and went on to talk about the training methods they used to protect their kids.

Then Stossel's team offered candy to each of their kids. twenty out of 20 accepted the candy. The point was that you can't keep kids from taking candy and you might not want to scare them to death so just go with it.

I didnt see the 1st 'supposed' DPI that wasn't called on us. All the SC folks around us were going crazy but it looked like the ball was uncatchable live.

Bingo. If Tracy had given him a cleaner break, the WR is at least a yard or more further down the field and the ball would have been obviously more uncatchable. Definitely could have been a DPI (Moss threw this one early), but definitely an uncatchable pass.

how much did Danielson and Nessler discuss them?

They discussed them for sure. Definitely came across as being in favor of USC getting these calls that they didn't.
