I follow Wisconsin as closely as Michigan, and IMHO, Wisconsin is overrated. The B1G West is bad; if Michigan were in the West, we'd have been to the Championship Game at least once under Harbaugh. The asymmetry between the East and West is staggering!  As I type this, Illinois just lost to USF at Soldier Field, and Nebraska already lost to Troy.  Iowa couldn't even dominate Iowa State.

Wisconsin lost too much on defense to be a contender this year - that's the main problem.  Last year's Badger defense was scary good, and good enough to give the inconsistent offense a lot of chances.  This year, the defense is not that good. 

Hornibrook is at best just OK, and JT gets too few touches.  That's the next problem.  BYU is big and physical, so the Badgers couldn't grind them down in the second half as is the MO in Madison.

Before today, I'd've put my money on Wisconsin beating Michigan. After today, I'd put it on Michigan winning.  Our defense is better than BYU's, and our offense, while underwhelming, is better than Wisconsin's defense.
