I guess we are all Wisconsin fans now?

Interesting article about teams that need bounce back wins. Wisconsin is the first team listed in this article. Certainly last Saturday's victory is the bigget of the Independence era for BYU, but BYU needs Wisconsin to do what they were predicted to do and at least win the B1G west.  If they do that and remain in the top 20 all season, then I think this win will go down as one of the top 5 wins in program history. 

What is great about Independence is that BYU has a chance to get another signature win next week at Washington.  If BYU could somehow pull that off, we fans would certainly start getting giddy about the possibilities of the rest of the season. 

Here is the relevant paragraph:

Football Power Index says: Wisconsin has a 48.2 percent chance to win

The storyline: Forget the College Football Playoff for a minute. If the Badgers can't beat Iowa, they might not even win their own division. And if Wisconsin doesn't win the entire Big Ten, the Badgers don't stand a chance at finishing in the top four. According to Football Power Index, Wisconsin would have a 71 percent chance to win the West Division with a win on Saturday, while Iowa would have a 68 percent chance if it wins. The Hawkeyes are well-coached, respectable opponents who have derailed playoff contenders before. Last year, the selection committee couldn't get past Ohio State's 55-24 loss at Iowa and kept the Buckeyes out of the top four in large part because of it. In 2016, then-No. 3 Michigan lost at Iowa, 14-13. Wisconsin is already a long shot for the playoff, but lose to Iowa, and it's an afterthought.
