per CBS:

Blame it on conference expansion. Blame it on a Charmin-soft schedule. Or don't blame it on anyone or anything.

Wisconsin has the easiest road to the College Football Playoff.

Easier than Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Notre Dame or any other contender you want to name.

Wisconsin (8-0) has the easiest road because -- for starters -- it has the easiest schedule. So soft there is a good possibility the Badgers could head to the Big Ten title game without having played a ranked team. The next/only regular-season chance of that happening is Nov. 18 against Michigan, but don't count on the Wolverines being in the Top 25 by then.

Go Gophers!!
 

Big Ten kind of got screwed on the first CFP rankings

No Big Ten team in top 4.
Oklahoma ahead of Penn State and PSU.
Clemson ahead of PSU and OSU.

It will take one of them to roll WI by 40 points in the B1G Championship again to jump back in the top 4.
 

The Big Ten got screwed? Oklahoma won AT Ohio State. Case closed, for now.

It is only October. None of this matters right now.
 

Eff that BS...the road to the playoffs ends shortly after I wake up from turkey coma when the Gophers take back the axe!
 

win one game and your in...going to be difficult, but the have not been challenged or had a close game all year, they just havnt blown anyone out bielema style
