OSU beating Wisconsin in the B1G title game received 29 votes and the Buckeyes beating Iowa for the conference title received the other five votes.

As I’ve said many times before, picking Ohio State in the preseason to win the conference is the smart choice.

I’m a huge Wisconsin fan, but I’m also a realist. The Buckeyes have dominated the B1G, and we have no reason to believe that will change until it actually does.

Having said all of that, I look forward to meeting OSU in the title game. If you want to be viewed as the king, then you have to kill whoever already sits on the throne.

That’s what the Wisconsin Badgers intend to do after we run through our regular season schedule.
