The coaches poll is an element of the BCS. Getting attention to the program helps that, for one.
So are you saying by scoring 83 points on Indiana that you will move up in the human polls over teams that also won? What if you had only scored 60? Would it have been different?

There is always going to be a team that doesn't win much in the Big Ten. If those three teams were good then three others would be the bottom three. I don't get your point.
I just wish you would have watched the game. Or listened to everyone else. The blame here really isn't on UW. It's on IU. Like I think it is, like their fans think is, like just about everyone thinks it is. When a 4th string slow QB I have never heard of scrambles for a TD, I just don't have an answer. You can't start kneeling with 10 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.
And yes, I personally believe the 83 points could have an impact in the long run. I also see absolutely no negative impact for Wisconsin. Might get the attention of some Coaches and AP voters. Does that directly mean they will jump spots? Of course not. This week I doubt if UW even jumps a single spot in the BCS.
You think Bret is a meanie, I get it. I'm not going to change your mind and I couldn't care less, Rick. I realllllly don't want to fight with you.
Why on earth would anyone, without a rooting interest in either side, want to watch a game that was virtually over at halftime?
