Wisconsin Badgers football, ranking the toughest games left on the schedule. Gophers number one?

Intro what's going on Badger fans we keep talking about the rest of the schedule the rest of the season let's rank the games what's the toughest game left on the badger schedule we're going to rank them one through four on locked on Badgers let's go you are locked on Badgers your daily podcast on the Wisconsin Badgers part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day what is going on Badger friends this is going to be a quick show because honestly I'm kind of sick now I CAU something from the plane my voice is still a little hampered but I I did have a thought that that's been kind of banging around in my head a little bit and because we continue to talk about the last four games of the schedule right the TP with the top Parts over I mean relatively speaking what's left Rankings well let's rank them let's because Wisconsin's gonna have to basically run the table if we still want a shot at some team from the East if we still want to get to Indie which by the way for the record I do I very much do just because that that is who I am I I want to get excited about some potential upset that's just who I am and where I am we have to basically run the table because Iowa I think it's going to lose another game I don't think they're gonna lose too they could they have uh Northwestern Ruckers Illinois Nebraska Nebraska could Nebraska could Top 4 get them ruter could maybe get them um I don't I think you're gonna lose one Wisconsin has to run the table so let's rank the last four games on the schedule from what I think is the easiest to the hardest for the Badgers the easiest for me is Northwestern because it's a home game they get Northwestern at home that team does not scare me northwestern's four and four they are coming off a win over uh a Maryland but that's a home win they have a home win against Minnesota in True Road games like real Road games they're 0 and three two of their wins are against Howard which is a three-point win and a win over UTF they've won like two real games all year which is Maryland and Minnesota both at home there's just nothing there that scares me Wisconsin gets him at home I think that's the most most likely win out of all these they haven't been a to travel all year that's still a team that has a bunch of weird energy around it yes they're coming up a Maryland win again at home they haven't been able to do anything on the road two of their wins are against nobody's again UT utap and Howard and Howard was a close game they're very close to basically being a three- win team if they don't pull it out over Howard so Northwestern is my number four team number three I have Indiana I was originally a little higher in Indiana because it's a road game because they they did play Penn State tough last weekend but then you think about the situation Penn State found itself in coming off that Ohio State game Penn State was sleepwalking against Indiana still beat them and then he start to go under the hood with Indiana and it's not pretty right um Indiana lost four in a row ruter pumped them like beat them handily that's Ruckers team Wisconsin handled so Ruckers beat them pretty badly two of their wins this year it's akan um in Indiana state akan was a close game 29 to 27 um they have got a little more efficient quarterback Top 3 play recently again they hung with Penn State for a little bit it is a road game Road games are always tricking the Big 10 Wisconsin could lose any of these games by the way but these are the two I feel really confident about I think Wisconsin beats Northwestern relatively easily and I think they handle Indiana Indiana hasn't been good this year they have one good win the entire year that's against Maryland they they have not been good like I said Ruckers mulated them I think Indiana goes down pretty easily now we get into the two these are the the two tricky ones right it's Nebraska at home is my third or my second toughest that's that's coming up next to my rankings you get them at home Nebraska has not been able to figure out Wisconsin for a long time but I'm I am less inclined to buy into those type of things than other people right the past of the past all these teams are different they change year to year there's two new coaching staffs and maybe if Paul Chris was still here certainly if Scott Frost was still here I would say they just don't know how to be Wisconsin Matt Ru has got them playing pretty good Matt Ru did won three in a row he he understands physicality he understands the line of play uh he kind of is I think he's starting to figure out what they are they're not a passing team certainly but they've gotten pretty good rushing from their quarterback harberg or yeah it's uh sorry Henrik hyberg they've got pretty good rushing uh from him although he's tailed off a little bit Purdue kind of held him in check last weekend but he is a big physical running quarterback what has Wisconsin struggled with at times this year running quarterbacks hello Luke alme Hudson card so yeah Nebraska's gonna be a little tough they they play pretty good defensively they've won like I said three in a row they are coming to Madison and they are 14th in the Big 10 in turnover uh turnover margin so they are dead last in turnover margin you do not go on the road and win if you turn the ball over more than your opponent typically so I know I said typic I only said you don't do it and I just realized Ohio State literally just did that to us but Ohio State Nebraska is not so yeah have Nebraska it's that's not gonna be an easy game at all that that is not a cakewalk Wisconsin's going to have to play well Nebraska's defense has getting kind of salty they've they've played play much better recently and I think Matt Ru is a really Co a real Coach and they have a running quarterback so not easy I still think Wisconsin at home takes care of business at Nebraska and then you get into what I think is the toughest game left on the schedule let me know in the comments how you would rank these four I think it's the golfers I think it's the golfers on the road and listen I've talked about um cak kamakis I don't I don't like him I don't like him as a quarterback but they still run the ball well they still have two dudes like they they PJ Flex say whatever you want about him and if you look my board in the background he's a weirdo he he is able to find ways to continue to run the ball right and they've been able to do it consistently uh last week it was Jordan new been stepping up Darius Taylor's been great all year probably you know the certainly the Big 10 freshman of the year a great running back they're both averaging around five yards per carry uh in in uh Taylor's Cas it's like 5.5 so they run the ball what has Wisconsin struggled with at times this year stopping the run like it's been an issue for Wisconsin so you're going to minutes inota a team that is going to be able to run the ball it m like both teams are going to play hard Minnesota's not going to want to lose that ax uh I just that's a coin flip game it really is uh I think we'll have the quarterback Advantage but they beat us they beat us twice in a row and it's in it's in their house by the way if you look at if you look at Minnesota's schedule they really only have one bad loss right um Minnesota you have the one bad loss of Northwestern which which was there was a crazy rally there if you remember that game Minnesota was a big Northwestern rally they ended up winning 3734 kind of flukish a loss is a loss it counts but that's really that's Minnesota's only bad loss when you look at their schedule they got beat by North Carolina North Carolina's a real team that was a road game and then Michigan murdered Minnesota like they just demolished them but it's Michigan Michigan would do that to a lot of teams Michigan probably do that to Wisconsin if they played so it's really just one bad loss they've been playing pretty well recently they run the ball it's going to be in min Apolis that's not an easy one guys uh at the beginning of the year I said there's no way we're going to lose to Minnesota that's not going to be an easy one that's a coin flip game I think in my opinion so I think you beat Northwestern I think you beat Indiana I think you beat Nebraska I'm pretty confident on the first two relatively confident on the Nebraska game although that's not going to be a simple win and then it's going to be a coin toss to Minnesota I think for the West potentially because I think I was going to stumble down the stretch that's my ranking let me know where you're at let me know what your that's all we're going to do on this show because my voice is gonzo but I it's just the thought was in my head and I was in the barn doing something else I'm like I'm just going to throw a quick one up there again the last four games of the season I've got the easiest one Northwestern then going to Bloomington going play Indiana then I've got Nebraska at home as the second toughest coming up and then I got that ax game that's gonna be the hardest game I think left on the schedule let me know what you think on Wisconsin and we will definitely talk tomorrow
