Badgers path to the Rose Bowl
Forget politics for a day – let’s worry about the real issue: can the Badgers make the Rose Bowl? Is it still possible? Or was our year with Russell Wilson wasted?
First: Yes, it is still possible for the Badgers to make the Rose Bowl. However they MUST win out the rest of the year. Minnesota, Illinois, and Penn State all must fall to the U of W.
Second: They must win the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis. A bit of a given, but yes, this is still a requirement.
Third: We’ll assume that under condition 1: Wisconsin beats Penn State, and for simplicity assume that Ohio State beats Purdue. Now for the matrix of who will go to the B1G Championship: the key game is the Nov. 19 Penn State vs. Ohio State game.
- If Penn State beats Ohio State on Nov. 19th:
- If Penn beats Nebraska on Nov. 12th = PENN STATE
- If Penn loses Nebraska on Nov. 12th = WISCONSIN
- If Ohio State beats Penn State on Nov. 19th:
- If Ohio beats Michigan on Nov. 26th = OHIO STATE
- If Ohio loses Michigan on Nov. 26th = WISCONSIN
So here’s your quick summary cheer guide:
- Nov. 12: Go Nebraska!
- Nov. 26: Go Michigan!

Poll data: Wisconsin Recall voters who go with the majority – are going GOP
Digging thru the PPP poll results some interesting tidbits. A caveat: the data from the raw dumps they offer do not match up exactly to the numbers on the PPP summaries.
Before we post the dump of categories – let’s discuss the group that should be most analyzed. It’s not a specific ethnic/age demographic, but rather a trait of people. A unique breed of people that can sense the way the wind blows. Or maybe they just go with the current. Whatever reason – these are the people who are the ticket splitters but they go with the winner. They went Obama in ’08, Walker in ’10. Among the people who tend to pick winners – Luther Olsen is up 57-38.
How about the bad luck brigade – the ones that went McCain in ’08 and Walker in ’10? The people who want to spite the crowd, the ones who swim upstream? 59% Clark – 32% Olsen.
In Hopper’s district – 58-36 Hopper among the Obama/Walker ticket splitters.
Data junkies – help yourself
- In Luther Olsen’s District:
- 7% of people are Walker voters who now disapprove of Walker (Unfaithful).
- Among the Unfaithful: 78% support Clark – 17% support Olsen
- Among the Unfaithful: 43% approve of Obama, 48% disapprove
- 4.5% of people are Barrett voters who now approve of Walker (Converts).
- Among the Converts: 80% go Olsen, 18% go Clark
- 8% are Obama voters who also voted for Walker (Wave voters)
- Among the Wave voters: 57% go Olsen, 38% go Clark
- 4.5% are McCain voters who voted for Barrett (Contrarians)
- Among the Contrarians: 32% go Olsen, 59% go Clark
- Clark’s base: he gets 67% of the vote from twentysomething women
- Olsen’s base: he gets 57% of the vote from 65+ men
And – in case you haven’t seen this chart from MacIver, remember recalls aren’t cheap:
