On Wisconsin
I think Wisconsin could, or at least should still be able to make the playoff with a loss today.
They’re not going to leave out a 1-loss conference champion in favor of a 2-loss ND, a 2-loss conference champion without a much better resume (so forget about a PAC-12 team), or a second SEC or ACC team. The only exception to that, I think, is if Auburn beats Bama next week and plays Georgia in the SECCG, in which case I think both the winner of that game and Bama are in.
But it would be outside of their control, so let’s not let it come to that.
