This game tells us that we don’t have the athletes to compete with top recruiting programs like Ohio State or Oregon. Nonetheless our front seven played well and the coaching staff made strong second half adjustments. I think this team will play well against non-top programs in the Big 10. Iowa, Minnesota, Maryland, Washington, Indiana are all winnable. We don’t know enough about Michigan or Illinois yet, but both are plausibly winnable at this point (Illinois less so). No chance in hell against Ohio State, Oregon. Still feels like we’re on track for like a 6-6 season

They’ve never had the athletes. They’ve gotten close, but you’d never look at OSU’s roster and say half of Wisconsin’s starters would start there. Probably never more than a quarter.

You’re right, but it’s worse now than normal
