Bucky’s 5th Quarter’s Fifth Quarter: Thoughts on Wisconsin’s loss to Penn State and the Big Ten West

Wisconsin will not go to Indianapolis this season.

That is weird to type after so many, including me, predicted the Badgers would return to the Big Ten Championship Game.

It won’t be Iowa, who I thought would be the team that would challenge Paul Chryst’s squad the most this season. The Hawkeyes and Badgers are the only two programs that have represented the West division in the conference title game.

It won’t be Purdue, a program that seemed on the up-and-up last year and, after a rough start to this season, proceeded to spank Ohio State in West Lafeyette.
