I'm still impressed with Colorado.  ESPN stats give them a 77% chance of beating Utah.  Should be a good game Nov. 26th.  CO had a bye this week.

They're both in the South division.  Winner likely to play Washington in the champ game.

has been a good game so far.  Not knocking Tommie Armstrong, but it seems like he has been at Nebraska for a long time.  In checking, this is only his 5th year.  Feels like it might be Wisconsin's night for some reason.

Paul Chryst looks like a high school PE teacher, but a high school PE teacher with a very good defense and a brutally efficient rushing game when it is allowed to run on all cylinders. 

That being said, this game looks like it might be a close one right now.

Still coming down, and going up. The Blackrocks Nordskye sits to my left. On my right, Nebraska vs. Wisconsin.

Somehow, I knew it was going to be closer than we wanted it to be today, closer than most of the people on TV and on the radio picked it to be. Sparty always brings out the worst in the Wolverines, and Michigan always brings out the best in them. A few penalties hurt us but the defense held when it mattered after that first drive and the offense took care of business. 

Darboh, Peppers and Speight are my three stars, not necessarily but maybe in that order.

Bottom line: Those guys came to play and got it done.

On the horizon: We should roll, but Maryland, Iowa and Indiana present varying degrees of trickiness. OSU looks beatable, if not vulnerable. They bring out the best in the Wolverines. It's looking good. Back to the Nordskye,and then sleep for this Captain Obvious. I had to get it out. Love to Michigan nation! Go Blue!

Any rooting interest in Nebraska/ Wisconsin?

 

I don't think it really matters for us much from a playoff perspective, but obviously a Wisconsin win could help on the margin.  That said, we will likely face the winner of this game if/ when we make the B10 Championship game so we'd get that strength of schedule effect either way

 

I guess all things equal I'd rather play Nebraska in a B10 title game just to beat someone different, but not really important.  I guess this is just a game to watch for the fun of it without any real motivations.

Posted this a few weeks ago, but worth noting again.  Steele rated FSU's oline as the 3rd best. He had Ohio State as 10th.  Arkansas was 14th and Tennessee was 15th.

We have unfinished business with Nebraska (considering the last two meetings and the Russell Bellomy disaster in particular). I'd like to knock them off the list of teams that require retribution.
