Of course they will. It's set up that way.

It was intended to be a joke... but if either OSU or Wisconsin or Penn State go undeafeated for some reason and play in the Nat'l Championship, it'll happen.

btw... I say start Mallett, I have never really liked Henne much anyways.

The last thing that team needs right now is a quarterback controversy. Henne has earned his time. Don't get overwhelmed with Mallett talk just cause he had a solid game against Notre Dame. I found him to be quite erratic. Henne is steady. Much better option for the Wolverines.

Henne is overrated. Not as much as the conference but he's up there.

Mallett isn't ready though. He benefited from Mike Hart and the Notre Dame defense. Henne gives them the best chance to win.

Michigan will lose again next week and go to 1-3 and Carr will be back on the hot seat.

Penn State, Wisconsin, and Ohio State are the 3 best teams in the conference. I don't know what to make of either 3.

Penn State hasn't really been tested yet and it'll be interesting to see how well they play against Michigan next week. Austin Scott has not impressed me that much.

Ohio State is has problems on offense and I'm not sure what to make of them either.

Wisconsin frustrates me. They are good on offense but the defense is a disaster. They did play very well in the 2nd half. Cidatel got 10 points on the 2nd until (which still shouldn't happen) but the first unit stoned up and held them to like 3 or 4 3 and outs in a row.

To give up 21 in the 1st half to a AA school is inexcusable. Had they lost that game they should of been ranked lower than Michigan.

They didn't though and they'll still be in the top 10 I'm guessing.

My problem with Wisconsin this year has been play calling and defensive play. They have 9 returning starters from last year so I think they can find away to get it together and if they do, Wisconsin will coast to a Big Ten Championship. However I have my doubts.

Offensively, the play calling is just dreadful sometimes. They want to air it early on and try and get an early lead but it rarely works. Penn State will be all over Wisconsin if they don't just give the ball to P.J. Hill. Donovan is steady but he's not John Elway or anything.

Right now I'd give Penn State the nod in the Big Ten but it's not that great of a conference. Hasn't been for the last two years.

I've actually decided that this is going to be the topic of my weekly weekend football column for Monday's paper. This conference is bad from top to bottom. Minnesota loses to Florida Atlantic. Iowa loses to Iowa St again after Iowa St. dropped a game to Northern Iowa last week. I know it's a rivalry, but come on, that Iowa St. team is dreadful. It won't surprise me if they don't win another game all season. Northwestern loses to Duke. I know these are lower teams in the conference, but we're talking about them losing to some of the worst programs in the nation. It's quite pathetic.

Ironically 3 teams are in today's top 10 which is the most of any conference.

I still believe Penn State can be a legit opponent in the Rose Bowl for a team like California and if Wisconsin can get that Defense together they can as well. They have beaten SEC Teams the past two bowls. Something has got to give eventually in this conference.

Next week I believe Wisconsin is Nationally Televised against Iowa. Watch the play calling. If they air it out right away, they'll struggle. If they run they'll have no problem.
