Only in a blowout would I give Wisconsin a shot.

Bad loss to Illini
Blown out in other loss
Badgers lost twice
Baylor would have avenged its only loss

Wisconsin would have not only the best win of the season vs Ohio St, they'd also have 4 top 20 wins to only 2 top 25 wins for Baylor.

Lets just say this. Baylor would be pretty big Ohio St fans so they don't have to find out.

Two losses, one of them a bad loss and the other by blowout compared to a conference champ who beat everyone they played. Unless Wisconsin won in a blowout they don’t worry me

I think you might be surprised. For Wisconsin to be all the way up to 8, I wouldn't want to tempt fate.

Wisconsin has 0 shot

I wouldn't say zero. Are the odds strongly against them? Sure. They'd have to beat an Ohio State team that cleaned their clock a month ago, and is clearly a better team, and they'd have to do it decisively. They need to blow Ohio State out so as to knock Ohio State out of the playoffs. That has maybe a 3% chance of happening?

And, then they'd likely need Baylor to beat Oklahoma. And OU is likely to win that game.

And, they need LSU to beat Georgia - and IMO, Georgia will beat LSU today.

And ... they'd have to break the precedent that no two-loss team has made the playoffs.

BUT ... if all of the game results above do happen, then they could get in, as they do have one factor in their favor: POLITICS. The CFP does NOT want the B1G to miss the playoffs a third straight year. They just don't want that.

Bottom line is, the B1G is 99% certain of getting a team in, for a bunch of reasons.

Congratulations, Oregon!

I’ll be rooting for Ohio State to beat Wisconsin by a wide margin that way Penn State’s chances for the Rose Bowl are more favorable. If the Badgers lose by a small margin, then the Orange (vs the ACC) or the Cotton (vs the G5 rep) could be possible.

As for Utah, I really wanted them to go to the CFP or the Rose. If there’s one school that did the right things and deserved a spot in the P5, it’s them.
