[richdg]

The Badgers will win. Why? They don't amke mistakes. They run the ball, play great D, and never turn the ball over. The Hogs make far to many mistakes to beat them.

All these people who say Wisconsin doesn't deserve a BCS bid have yet to say why ND, Boise State, USC, Wake, Louisville deserve it over them. I understand that 3 of them get automatic bids, but they are no more deserving than Wisconsin.

ND only beat Penn State, and got crushed by the 2 decent teams they played.

Boise State's best win was Oregon State.

USC lost to 2 unranked teams.

Wake Forest hasn't played anyone impressive.

Louisville only beat West Virginia, who lost to the powerhouse that is South Florida.

To say that UW doesn't deserve to be in in front of even 1 of those teams is preposterous.

USC played one of the hardest schedules in the nation, won there conference which guarantees them a bowl.

Arkansas will win this game, but it will be close.

Louisville, USC, and Wake Forest got Auto-bids for winning their conference, not finishing third.

Boise went unbeaten, its hard to argue.

Yes they should be there above ND, but

a. ND reels in more money
b. Wisconsin cannot go, no more than two teams per conference can go to BCS bowls.

[someone447]

But does that make them more deserving? No. I understand completely why the Badgers aren't in. But they are more DESERVING than any of those other teams.

Doesn't Boise State basically get an autobid for finishing Top 12 in the BCS or something like that?

No, new rule is a mid major in the BCS top 12 gets in automatically.

And a Notre Dame in the top 8.

Really? I just thought that because they were undefeated and ranked fairly high they got an at large.

[jtsteward]

I am taking Bucky by a TD. McFadden might get his yards. But, everyone knows the most obvious thing will happen at the beginning of the game. Bret Bielema will stack 8 or 9 in the box against Casey Dick and that horrendous pass attack.

I know Ark. has that "Wildcat" formation but its either going to be McFadden Right, McFadden Left, McFadden Pass.

[keylime_5]

Should be a great game. Lots of running and very little passing - my kind of football

[drowe]

wisconsin may not have had the toughest schedule...but you cannot discount any team that goes 11-1 in a major conference.

Seems like he'll play now.

except probably one of the best badgers in history but you can always rely on the badgers to produce more and more o lineman

[someone447]

True, but I don't think the line will suffer too big of a drop off. The unit is more important than a single player. Yes, I understand that is cliche, but it is completely true on the O-line.

[Sportsfan486]

It's just too bad that when Wisconsin wears Arkansas out by a few TDs everyone will say "well, Arkansas was just the SECs third best team anyway."

[someone447]

Yep, just like after beating auburn last year, they still didn't get any respect.

[Packman1957]

I really thought the Badgers schedule was riddicilious this year, why is that we are never playing any of the better teams. Instead we are always playing **** teams like Buffalo, Western Illinois, San Diego State, and so on. That is the only reason the Badgers never have a chance of making the BCS, there schedule always involves easy opponents. When will this ever change. We should be playing tougher teams, and not teams we are going to consistently clobber. I am confident the Badgers will go out there and pound the Razorbacks.

Our offensive line is one of the best in the nation, I do not see Arkansas stopping us on offense. PJ Hill is hard to tackle and our offensive line is pretty dominant, we also rarely make any turnovers. The only thing I am concerned about is our defense and how they will play against a good Arkansas offense. I guess we will find out.
