8. Wisconsin (def. Iowa 24-21) - they never win pretty, but the Badgers have fought their way to 10-1. They'd be toast of the conference... if they didn't play in the Big 10. Enjoy the Outback Bowl. Next opponent: Buffalo.

9. Boise State (def. San Jose State 23-21) - undefeated and unloved by the BCS. Sorry, Broncs. Next game: Utah State.

10. West Virginia (def. Cincinnati 42-24) and Lousiville (lost to Rutgers 25-28) - they know how the other feels. Misery loves company. Next opponents: WVU at Pittsburgh (11/16); UL v. South Florida.
