Contender to Pretender

They still have those shutouts against unranked teams, though. That's the most important thing.

28 dresses?

If they win next week, does the Big Ten even have a playoff team?

Moot point though because Wisconsin will not win next week.

They lack mental toughness.

If they run the table, they'd have either beaten Ohio State twice or beaten Ohio State on the road and beaten Penn State in the CCG along with dismantling Michigan earlier.

Personally, I think Ohio State wins next week, so it won't matter, but if they win next week, they're right back in it.

Is it likely that they would be in? yes. Do they "control their own CFP destiny"? no.

If they had lost to a team like Minnesota or Ohio State I could understand this, but Illinois?

I believe so.

SEC Champ, Oklahoma and Clemson are in, and a one loss B1G champ is getting in over a one loss Pac 12 champ. That's if nothing else changes. If they win out, they're a lock to be in.

This stings but due to potential big names on their schedule, Wisconsin still has a chance to make the playoffs.

They don't deserve the playoffs after this debacle.

I didn't play...and we'll never get nice things until we earn them... when we learn to be humble...when we learn they're all important..when we learn...

Badger fans are arrogant.

Meh. Ohio state dropped a terrible L to VT before winning the CFP. Wisconsin’s serves their shot if they win out.

Wisconsin, you shit the bed.

Almost a bad as 2 years ago when a shitty Iowa State came to Norman and beat Okie

Almost, but not quite. That team actually ended up being pretty good that year if I recall.

That ISU team was considerably better than Illinois is this year

They were a really solid team

You’re incorrect. You wanna go down that road?
