That's just crazy. Michigan and Washington's falls from grace are amazing.

[TexasTerror]

Will WKU's long streak of winning seasons come to an end today? ;)

I could have sworn the scores scrolling on the bottom of the screen on ESPN showed this game as 42-42.

It could not happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

I found Michigan fans to be some of the best I have encountered.

Washington's on the other hand are little kid touchers.

I've heard nothing but great things about UM fans. Even met several last year that made the trip to Boone to see ASU after the game. I hope they bounce back, but I'm not the biggest fan of RichRod and think they could have done better.

The final score was 48 - 42 Purdue. Sorry about the typo.

Bold teams have streaks in jeopardy.

Yes? xcoolx

I told a couple of my friends before this season that I would be happy with 6-6 & continuing the bowl streak. The frustrating thing is how Michigan has found ways to lose. I still think Rich Rod will do just fine w/this program. He struggled his 1st year at WVU also. Plus even Lloyd Carr would have had a very hard time replacing, Henne, Hart, Manningham, Arrington & Long.

[JayJ79]

Hopefully the Iowa Hawkeyes will soon follow suit.
Though they sit at 5-4, and will probably scrape together a 6-6 season and still make it to a bowl.

Which is utter BS. .500 teams don't belong in postseason play.

Teams in Green have 7 or more wins, teams in red have 6 wins

UCLA is 3-5. Wisconsin is 4-5

[wkuhillhound]

UCLA is 3-5. Wisconsin is 4-5

I can see Wisconsin making a bowl appearance, I don't know about UCLA IMO.

[813Jag]

UCLA is 3-5. Wisconsin is 4-5
I don't see UCLA making 6 wins. They have Oregon St., @ Washington, @ Arizona St., and USC.

Wicsonsin has @ Indiana, Minnesota, and Cal Poly. They can win all three.

go georgia and florida teams... representing well on that list...

Just when I was going to criticize people for taking joy in seeing somebody else fail, you had to go and post this. I can't stand any of those three. xmadx :p

Good old Michigan finally isn't going to make a bowl. I would feel better if Iowa would of won the game to keep them out but I'll take what i can get. All the Michigan fans are being good sports about all this and I would've like to seen Florida's bowl streak to end rather than Michigan
