WTF Wisconsin!
That certainly changes the equation for playoffs. Wisconsin still controls their own fate in the Big 10 but should they run the table and win it all they will still be a 1 loss team. Big 10's still has three undefeated teams and Wisconsin can take care of one of those this week at Columbus. That would really wreak havoc in the rankings. This conference is still wide open - Penn State and OSU still play each other, Wisconsin-Iowa-Minnesota are all still yet to play as well.
Tua Tagovailoa suffered a high ankle sprain (different ankle than last year) and had surgery to repair it. He's out at least a week (and then they have a bye) but no timeline on his return. That makes things interesting too.
And Boise State lost. That might give SMU the best shot at a New Years six bowl game from the Group of Five if they can stay undefeated now.
