This feels really strange for me to write. I know it’s true Wisconsin football is not an easy team to upset, but I’m still not super crushed by the loss to BYU last weekend. I should feel worse about it because it’s just so unlike the Badgers. But I don’t.
Perhaps it’s because I know it was such a fluke, or it’s that the Big Ten race was completely unaffected by the loss, or even the fact that Wisconsin just wasn’t playing like a Playoff contender in the first couple of games of the season so I had already punted on national championship hopes (for now, anyway).
