As a Wisconsin fan, I can handle getting snubbed because of the stupid BCS. What I can't handle is comments like the one earlier that "they did not play anyone".
Yes, UW lost to Michigan.
They beat 4 other Big Ten teams that are in Bowls. Anyone who says "the Big Ten is down" is mindless. The #1 and REAL #2 team and Wisconsin are in the Big Ten.
That argument is weak. We're just looking for respect. Wisconsin won back to back Rose Bowls in '99-'00 - something Michigan and Ohio State have never done. We are a real football program in the big time yet still get no respect. But, heck, I like that -- we always find a way to win in Bowls. Ask Auburn about last year.
I can't wait for the Arkansas-Wisconsin game. It will much better than Boise St or Wake Forest in the BCS.
GO BADGERS!

I'm a big Wisconsin fan, I went to Wisconsin and I would have loved to see them in a BCS bowl. However, them playing Arkansas in the Capital One Bowl should be a great game. Whether or not teams get snubbed is more of a media and fan thing than anything else. I think they deserve a BCS bid more than Notre Dame, Louisville or Wake Forrest but what can you do, that's the way the system works. I just want to see a bunch of good games and it looks like that is what we got. Should be a good bowl year.

Not sure about Auburn but I'm a Wisconsin fan and it is a bad rule. I still don't think Wisconsin could hang with Florida or Ohio ST. I would like to see them try though.The played UM pretty good so we will never know. Thats why The BCS needs a playoff Tree!!!!

No and No. Both schools voted in favor of the BCS system, so they cannot now make this complaint.
Both of their conferences are very well represented. In specific, Wisconsin only played one ranked team the entire season...and it resulted in a loss (Michigan). I think they are fortunate to be in the top 10.
I would also take Boise State out of the top 10 b/c they have not played any ranked teams the entire season...just thought I would throw this one in.

Wisconsin MIGHT have a case but let's face it: they are NOT in the class of Michigan or OSU.
Auburn did not get snubbed. They shouldn't have lost to Arkansas and they shouldn't have lost to Georgia. Both were home games and they weren't even close. You could accept losing to Arkansas as it turned out (although not by that margin) but I gave up on them after they lost to Georgia.

Ok I may be a little biased here but I really think Wisconsin got snubbed big time.(I am a badger fan living in WI). I really think they need to change the rules for College football!

No. Wisconsin has no right to complain due to a non-conference schedule that makes Virginia Tech's look tough. Besides, the Big Ten is a really crappy conference right now.
