I think so from what I have seen. And get this. I saw the projected bowl matchups this past weekend and it looks as if the two might meet in the Capital One Bowl on New Years Day. Now THAT would be a matchup to see! I realize that Arkansas and Wisconsin are pretty highly ranked but I just don't feel that they have gotten the media coverage that they should have gotten.

Remember that Michigan just squeaked by Wisconsin in the fourth quarter to beat them. Wisconsin dominated much of the game.

I believe Arkansas will get it due credit when they kick Florida's *** in the SEC championship game, but Wisconsin conference is way to tough this year with Michigan and Ohio state. The SEC IS THE MOST OVERRATED CONFERENCE next to the BIG EAST.

I don't think they are underrated. Wisconsin's one loss was to Michigan #2 and Arkansas lost to USC #3 in the season opener. Arkansas will be tested against LSU and Florida in the SEC title game. They have beaten some good teams and pounded bad teams. It will be a good match up, unless Arkansas beats Florida then they will be headed to a BCS game without Wisconsin!
This why a playoff should be instituted, teams like Arkansas, Wisconsin, Florida etc. can play with and possibly beat teams like Michigan, USC, and Ohio State. Plus, it would be fun to see good college football teams play throughout December instead of these .500 teams playing in the "Toilet Bowls".

You may be right about Wisconsin. The Big 10 got NO respect this year outside Ohio State and Michigan, and the "talking heads' on TV want to downplay that. Everybody loves the SEC. Go figure.

Arkansas may be, but Wisconsin if anything is overrated despite an 11-1 record. Why? How many ranked teams did Wisconsin play this year? 1. And they lost to them.
Here's Wisconsin's schedule, and each of their opponent's W-L records. Color me unimpressed.
Bowling Green 4-7
Western Illinois 5-6 (Division I-AA)
San Diego State 2-8
Michigan 11-1 (Lost)
Indiana 5-7
Northwestern 4-8
Minnesota 6-6
Purdue 8-4
Illinois 2-10
Penn State 8-4
Iowa 6-6
Buffalo 2-9

It seems to me that Arkansas is getting more now...But for some reason Wisconsin is not getting any respect..I think Wisconsin would kick the snot out of Notre Dame...I mean Wisconsin only loss was to Michigan granted there strength of schedule isn't near Notre Dame's..I would like to see Notre Dame and Wisconsin in a bowl game..

its hard to praise a 3rd big ten team when Ohio and Michigan are 1 and 2.
I would also like to see a wisconsin arkensas, or even Florida matchup.

Wisconsin maybe but who knows cause they never played anyone.
Arkansas gets alot of respect already so I don't see how they are underrated. Also if Arkansas wins out they may end up #3 which also shows alot of respect.
