Wisconsin has been underrated all year long. It's time for some respek! But, Brent Musburger did give them props during a telecast on Saturday. He mentioned that Michigan squeking by wisconsin in the fourth quarter earlier in the year was Michigan's most impressive win by far. All wisconsin can do i guess is to just win their last game vs. Buffalo and win that Bowl Game once again. They had to destroy Auburn last year to get their point across. MAYBE we will see a top five ranking.

I just checked the rankings again and DID see that Wisconsin only got respect in one POLL. The BCS standings put them 2 spots ahead of LSU. All of the others dissed them. Who says the BCS rankings aren't fair?

the human polls are filled with bias.. they pick their votes based on a team's reputation.. not just based on this year..
rutgers is another team that doesn't get the respect it deserves.. yes, they sucked from 1980-2004, but this is 2006! they are as good as any out there..
SEC teams seem to get too much respect. yes LSU is good, but hey, they have 2 losses.. Rutgers doesn't.
and i agree, wisconsin is a great team, their only loss was to one of the best teams.. so that shouldn't hurt them too much.
notre dame is way overrated too. they have struggled to beat many weak teams, michigan state and ucla, for example..
the major think going against wisconsin, is that they are #3 in their conference.. too bad they don't get a crack at both michigan and ohio state this year.. that would have given then a chance to show how good they can be!
but don't worry.. they will still get a major bowl, and that will bring money, fame and hype to the school.

okay, this question is in need of some clarification. it should ask, "why isn't a team in a major conference, that doesn't have a conference championship determined by a playoff game, not ranked any higher 'in the polls' than x ranking?" and to further explain why we got our but kicked last year is our coach is cocky and overconfident and thinks we can win with trick plays, which of course is a pile of crap b/c it's the SOUTH EASTERN CONFERENCE and every team has awesome athletic talent and speed, which is why every team in the country recruits in the southeast - but i digress. if the badgers are the team that you believe them to be then it will be clear in the next couple of weeks or so. i hear ya man, they aint a bad team, and neithor is auburn, who will take the iron bowl again saturday for the fifth consecutive year!@!

Yeah that is only the way it lose, it could pay to lose earlier than later. I recommend i think of LSU have been given hosed somewhat by using dropping that far after an extensive lose to Florida. USC additionally lost on the line, that has some thing to do with it.. howdy Tiger Fan only win the SEC and you gets to the coach!

No idea. Personally i think Wisconsin is underated and they should be in or just outside of the top 5 in every poll. The Badgers could take on LSU any time, any where. Who knows, they could meet in a bowl game.
GO BUCKY!!!!!

The fact is...they shouldn't be.
Wisconsin's only loss was to Michigan, the #2 team in the country.
LSU has lossed TWICE (not once) to teams that are NOT the #2 team in the country.

Wisconsin blows balls! LSU would kill them in a game so I suggest you shut the **** up and enjoy your winnings in your weak *** conference.
