My ballot for the AP Top 25 - If they let me have one I have some short explanations for my picks in groups of 5 from 1 to 25. Then, at the bottom, I have the top 25 all in one list with the AP rankings in parentheses. I’m closer...

Offense #1 vs Offense #2, USC’s first real test, and A West Championship Game. It’s the Pac-12’s week to dominate the CFB landscape. The top 2 teams in the conference have a record setting showdown in the PNW. USC gets to show the country if they can win against good teams...

Still undefeated all time vs. Rutgers. The first team to 15 points wins this week. Mordecai can run now? The Badgers play the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday. It’s easily the most important game of the season. I know they play Ohio State too, but no one is expecting Fickell to win...

The Red River Shootout, B1G Noon, and SEC Ranked vs. Ranked action. Why must all good things be at 11 AM? It’s an SEC heavy week, so don’t make any Saturday plans with your buddies down south - unless of course football is involved. Not only are there 3 big SEC...

What’s a Peacock? Iowa won with Wisco’s leftovers. Rutgers for Homecoming, maybe not my first choice. Watch out Rutgers, this Wisconsin team had an extra week to prepare and isn’t satisfied with their results so far. They may be itching to make an example of someone. And Badgers, this isn’t the...

The basketball schools dominate my CFB viewing plans. There are some upset possibilities this week. Even when Deion loses he’s still winning. Going into the season, I wrote about the games I thought would be the best in week 5. I was on the right path but missed the mark...

Wisconsin is the Lord of the Flies. Purdue wasn’t much of a threat. The Best QBs in the B1G are out West. The Badgers handled business on Friday night, time for a long break before Homecoming. With next weekend being a bye week, I won’t have a game preview at the...

What is it about a little number next to a team name that makes us want to watch them more? Texas at Alabama was the most anticipated game of the year - that can’t be disputed. But, week 4 is definitely the best full weekend of the year so far. And...

So how about that Defense? At least the “No Turnovers” streak is over. Ready or not should be the expression of the week. Wisconsin has better players than Purdue. But, based on what we saw over the first 3 weeks, the Badgers do not look ready to go on the road...

My ballot for the AP Top 25 - If they let me have one I have some short explanations for my picks in groups of 5 from 1 to 25. Then, at the bottom, I have a list of 1-40. I went 40 deep to show what my personal “others receiving...

Week 2 delivered some chart topping hits. Week 3 is more so the deep cuts. A lot of casuals will watch their team play this weekend, or nothing at all. There is no Texas - Bama, FSU - LSU, or Colorado - any decent team to get first billing this...

I told them to run the ball, but they just wouldn’t listen. Last weekend was not a fun time to be a Badger fan. All that offseason excitement and optimism came crashing down as Wisconsin lost its 1st real game of the year. All due respect to Buffalo, but a...

Pac-12 Supremacy, SEC slump, B1G check-in, and Tolly’s Top 25. Who is the best conference? A common, fun debate among college football fans that has consistently ended with the SEC on top for the last 15 years. Sometimes the B1G has an argument, but they have generally played second fiddle to...

Last week, most of the favorites won. It’s time for things to get crazy in Week 2. Well, I was pleasantly whelmed for most of the week 1 action. But there were definitely some upsets that kept things interesting. Deion gets first billing, but Duke wasn’t far behind. And don’t forget...

Everything is different, yet nothing has changed. Run the damn ball. Wisco Wednesday will have a consistent format for most of the season. I’ll start by looking back at what Wisconsin did the previous week. We might also touch on some other games that are of interest to Badger fans. Then...
