"WE SCORED MORE THAN 25 POINTS THIS YEAR?!?!?!"

Damn...we didn't get a vote this week.

I knew it was probably a bad idea to give him an all-expense paid trip to the game
on Saturday.

IMO, Notre Dame should be the highest ranked 1-loss team. Has 2 quality wins vs current ranked opponents. Their loss is a 1-point loss to current #3 ranked Georgia.

Ohio State might have the loss vs a Top 10 team, but who have they beaten?
Clemson beat a few good opponents, but where is Syracuse?

Whether or not Ohio State belongs in the top teams conversation will be answered here shortly. They have PSU, @Iowa, Mich St, Illinois, and of course @Michigan to finish up the season. Should they run that table, they will have the CCG vs Wisconsin (probably) to cap off the season prior to bowl and playoff selection.

And for Wisconsin, it's all about the CCG.

and not tripping up beforehand. You will be heavily favored in all of your remaining games prior to the CCG, but @Indiana can be tricky, they've played teams tough this year. Iowa and Michigan won't be cakewalks either. I fully expect an unbeaten Wisky to be in the B1G CCG though.
