The Buckeyes traveled up to Wisconsin as the number one team to play the Badgers, and they had a huge target on their backs. Wisconsin has been a good, not great, team in the first half of this season, and they proved how good they really can be on Saturday night. Not only did they beat the Buckeyes, they dominated the game on both sides of the ball, especially defense. Everyone on the defense, whether a freshman cornerback, or a senior lineman, played exceptionally well. What does this mean for each team? For Ohio State, they are undoubtedly out of the national championship race. The game was not very close and they were embarrassed. Terrell Pryor didn't show much and did not help his reputation. Ohio State is still number 10 in the new BCS rankings, and will likely move up, but there are too many really strong teams ahead of them. Wisconsin moved way up in the BCS standings, but still behind Ohio State. Their victory over the Buckeyes will be a huge moral victory if nothing else, and will likely give them more press coverage over the rest of this year and next year as well. We're all still waiting for Terrell Pryor to have a string of exceptional games, and his time is running out as a Buckeye. So far, he still is not living up to his huge expectations.
