As for the comment that Wisconsin is only the 6th best Big Ten team - I beg to differ.
they were 11 points from a perfect season.

So why would Bielema want to leave the "best" team in the Big 10, for the 8/9th best team in the SEC?

Exactly! He was only making $2.6 million, which IMO makes him underpaid by at least $1 million, based on what other coaches are making these days.

Arkansas was supposed to compete for the SEC title this year. That they did not is the reason for hiring a new coach.

People up here think that UW had a notion of what he was worth and it might be that is works at 2.6 and does not work at 3.6. Besides, he showed an inability to win close games


By the way, does anyone else think that counting the scores in overtime as though there are the same as in a game where you generally start 50 yards further down the field is stupid? I think that it should be 1 point for a FG, 2 for a TD, 3 for a TD+1pt PAT, 4 for a TD+2pt PAT.

Even better... let's call a tie a tie. Or maybe flip a coin. That makes as much sense as the arcane system in play now.
