The Badgers have a better overall record and beat Ohio State head to head. Many of their games are common, being in the same conference, and while Ohio States may be slightly better, it isn't like Wisconsin has played a pansy schedule. They beat Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Marquette, Georgia, Auburn, Florida State, Indiana (split).

Ohio State is overrated. They should be ranked 4th since they lost to both Wisconsin, and UNC.

Personally, I like the Badgers, but the Polls put Ohio State above Wisconsin. This shouldnt be like this. But I guess Id rather care what Wisconsin is ranked at the end of the season than now. Just cuz Oden and Conley...Thats the only reason Ohio State is ranked higher,

There are a lot of factors involved such as who and where you play, when you lose and more. You can't only look at common opponents or who you beat or lose to. For instance, Miami beat Georgia Tech who beat Florida St. who beat Florida, but there is no way Miami is the number one team in the country. If they played on a neutral site (say at the Final Four) voters think Ohio State has the better team, so they rank them higher.

I'm a Badger fan, but I'm still OK with it. OSU's three losses are @NC, @Florida and @Wisconsin, much better than Wisconsin's losses at Missouri State and at Indiana. Tournament seeding will come down to the game on February 25th anyway.

It just shows that the way they rank teams sometimes is just plain wrong. You spelled out the reasons why there rankings should be reversed.
