Badgers Part Of Conference Championship Weekend 2014

Well, we have reached the final week of the college football season, also known as “Conference Championship Saturday” and there is plenty left to be decided as far as the playoffs are concerned, meaning the final four teams that will get to play for the national championship. So lets take a look at these games

Arizona and Oregon, PAC-12 Championship- For Oregon, this one is very simple, they win, their in. Arizona has been really lucky at time this season, luck like that usually runs out in the big moments. This should be an easy win for the Ducks.

Iowa State and TCU- This one is not a conference championship game, but this one does have national championship implications. TCU has no choice but to win this game, and they must win convincingly. Fortunately, that should happen. I expect TCU to win by several scores.

Kansas State and Baylor- This is another huge game with playoff implications. This is a chance against a great team for Baylor to make a statement and sneak in to the playoffs. Final score, Baylor by three.

Florida State and Georgia Tech, ACC Championship- Despite being the defending national champions, despite carrying the nations longest win streak, the Seminoles currently sit number three in the polls. This can be a good game if the Yellow jackets can control the clock early and prevent the Seminoles from getting up early. Still, I expect the Seminoles to win this game by two scores.

Wisconsin and Ohio State, Big Ten Championship - Oh the Gophers are getting closer to winning that game against the Badgers every year. But, the Badgers prevailed and they will take on Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game. J.T. Barrett will miss this game as well as the postseason for the Buckeyes, so it is going to take a great gameplan for them to win this game. Badgers should win this game.

Alabama and Missouri, SEC Championship - This one may turn out to be the blowout of the day. I do not see how Missouri can win this game. Final score, Alabama with the mercy rule.

Badgers Drop Out Of My NCAA Top 25

It’s time once again for my take on the top 25 NCAA football teams. Is your favorite team still ranking? I hope so. Our Wisconsin Badgers dropped out of my ranking here.  Until they find a way to win, or find a capable quarterback, we may have seen the last of Bucky on this list. 

  1. Florida State- This is a weak year if this is the best team in the country.

  2. Auburn- Big one this weekend against Mississippi State

  3. Mississippi- Beat Alabama and did the world a huge favor in the process

  4. Mississippi State- Will shock the world when they run Auburn out of the building this weekend and wake up Monday morning as the number one ranked team in America

  5. Baylor- Big one coming this weekend against TCU. Winner of that game will win the Big 12.

  6. TCU- With the playoff, they could finally get their shot at the national championship

  7. Arizona- The Wildcats have been the luckiest team in America to this point. But will their luck run out this weekend against USC?

  8. Oregon- They have a big one coming against UCLA after the slip up last weekend.

  9. Michigan State- I am still waiting for the mistake from this team that is surely coming as it has every year except last year. Purdue could be it this weekend.

10. Alabama- The Crimson Tide are going to lose two in a row this weekend when they travel to take on Arkansas and we will finally be able to write Alabama out of the national championship picture.

11. Georgia Tech- So far, the Yellow Jackets have been the biggest surprise in the nation. They get a test in Duke this weekend.

12. Notre Dame- The Irish are going to run circles around a really bad Tar Heel defense on Saturday

13. Marshall- The Thundering Herd anybody?

14. Oklahoma- They got dragged up and down the field by TCU last weekend. Now they get a thin Texas team in the Red River Shootout this weekend that has lost its luster.

15. Washington- The may score 70 points this weekend against California.

16. UCLA- Brett Hundley’s stock is falling.

17. Georgia- This is the best running game in the country.

18. Kansas State- After an early season surge they are fading.

19. Nebraska- Not sure what to think of the Cornhuskers right now

20. Duke- They can get back to their winning ways this weekend against Georgia Tech

21. Ohio State- After an early season debacle, this offense is getting better.

22. Minnesota- Can they run their way to a Big Ten Championship game appearance?

23. Oklahoma State- They have been very quiet so far but can make some noise with a late surge.

24. Texas A&M- There may not be a more overrated player in the nation right now then Kenny Hill.

25. Rutgers- Another quiet team that could make some late noise.
