This game just goes to show what I said in the preseason. Nebraska is overrated and Wisconsin should be in the national championship game.

Wisconsin is the real deal- LOL at Herbie handicapping every team's shot at the BCS title game (like he does every week, like he's the final authority on what people should think), and saying Wisconsin is a long shot unless someone else loses because of the national perception of the Big10.

I bet ABC is excited that OSU-Nebraska is their prime time game next week.

I'm sure they are. Traditional powers, big fan bases. They probably lost less than 500,000 viewers next week with both losing today.

Also, we're less than half-way through the season, so yes, right now Wisconsin needs some help, but only twice in the BCS era have there been three undefeated teams from BCS conferences, so if they finish undefeated, it's unlikely they won't be there.

He is right.

They will need the help of other teams to knock off Stanford (Oregon/ND), LSU/Bama (Florida/Title game), and Oklahoma (Okie St, Texas, AM). I mean, without those teams losing, Wisconsin wont be in. The only team ahead of them they could jump without a loss is Boise. Even the likely loses wont help, as it is to teams ahead of them (Bama/LSU and Okie St/Okl).

Agree for the most part. I think they would also jump Stanford.

I think Nebraska wins the rematch in the B1G championship game on a neutral field. JMO

Neutral field instead of one of the most hostile environments in all of college football at night and the revenge factor. Nebraska is not as bad as the final score last night would indicate.

If Wiscy would of won by 10 or less then i could see your point, but they got absolutely dismantled(aside from the 1st quarter). No way does the bolded text account for 30 points. The rematch in the B1G champ game will be closer but i still think Wiscy wins with relative ease.

After that second quarter beat down/implosion from Martinez I knew the game was over. Went on to other things at half time. Wisconsin is the real deal. I think Nebraska is realistically somewhere from 12-15. And I think Wisconsin is a top 5 team.

We can agree to disagree. Just have to wait and see what happens in the rematch if it happens.

Yeah, you're right about the fanbases- I guess I was thinking about the average fan getting pumped up for what Musberger was predicting would be a low-scoring game. Ohio State's offense was the laughingstock of college football yesterday, from their own fanbase to ABC's crew.

Bethune-Cookman scored 2 TD's vs. Miami yesterday- 2 more than Ohio State did. I'll be shocked if we break double-digits vs. Nebraska. Not exactly a prime-time thriller.

I suppose so, but I guess my frustration is with the currrent system in college football. In what other sport on the planet Earth are experts handicapping which teams make it to a championship game a full 9 weeks or so away from when it actually gets decided? Herbie was just rubbing it in my face, like he was in week 1 when LSU and Oregon were playing.

I think Wisconsin could be the new Ohio State in the B1G. Beilema has the team at the top of the conference now and I don't see anyone dethroning them for a few seasons.
