Who will beat Wisconsin?
I'm just wondering what you think our chances are of winning the Big Ten this year. The only team at this point that I think will stand in our way is Wisconsin. Who in your mind has the best shot at knocking them off? Would this be a good idea for a vbet? List all teams that they play and we get to choose a team that we think will beat them.

Wisky loses either 10/22 home vs Purdue or 11/05 @ Penn State

Agreed. I would have to say @PSU would be their toughest test.
On a side note, how the hell did they pull off a @ Hawaii trip at the end of their schedule??? Lucky Bastards.

they have a history of losing to bad teams (Indiana, UNLV). I'm not sure if Calhoun can take the punishment of the Big Ten game in and game out... If they don't have a running game their offense is in real trouble. I think they will end the season with 3-4 losses. Iowa is always a touch game for them... throw in PSU and Purdon't and they will have a tough time going undefeated in the Big Ten.

They've got four games on their schedule that could cause them problems beginning with a trip to Evanston this weekend. The way Purdue stunk up the field... at Ross-Ayde... this past weekend leaves me with little confidence that they will be the one to stop the Badgers. I like the Wildcats based on the knowledge that any team that can beat us when overmatched can surely beat this Alverez bunch... just a hunch

If Calhoun can continue playing like he is playing now, that man deserves the Heisman...even if he does that, I think Wisky will lost 1 or 2 games though

They will lose this weekend.
(I hope)
They lost 2 conference games last year, and they had a better team, so there's no reason to worry (yet) about them going undefeated in the Big 10.

They've got 5 games left that they could possibly lose:
10/8 @Northwestern
10/15 @Minn.
10/22 Purdue
11/5 @PSU
11/12 Iowa
There's no way they get through all 5 of those games w/o a loss. However, considering the way that Minnesota and Purdue played last weekend, I could see them entering November undefeated, provided they get by Northwestern this weekend. At PSU will be a tough game w/bad weather, but that shouldn't affect them much, considering where they're from. Besides, I'm not sold on PSU being a good team yet. On paper, none of those games looks extremely difficult for a good team to win; however, Wisconsin is still down this year. And don't forget that they've only won on the road once this year, in an absolutely ugly game against North Carolina. Something tells me they'll lose at least one of those three road games, possibly @Northwestern this weekend.
