Wisconsin's defense has shut down every offense it has come against. Purdue's was number one before it lost to the Badgers, and Minnesota's was scoring some 35 points per game (or something like that). Purdue would have been shut out if they hadn't resorted to such cheap chop-block tactics.
Defense wins championships, not offense. If Wisconsin can generate just 20 points, that's pretty much a guaranteed win. They certainly lit it up against Minnesota. The offense continues to improve, and if they win out, should at least be considered for a championship with the sloppy play of OU and USC this past weekend. Even if Wisconsin wins out, I don't think it will be considered unless 2 of the other undefeated teams lose. That's really a shame. If they would have played Michigan this year, I am pretty sure they would be in the number 2 spot.
Auburn has a tough date this week vs. Georgia. If they win big, they certainly deserve a shot at the title.
Oh and the Bengals...they deserve a winning season. I can't imagine how bad it felt to be a Bengals fan during the past 15 or so years of suckage. Maybe they can pull it off this year...they certainly look better.
