Who's the dark horse for next year's college football champ?

Well that's interesting.

Admittedly, speculating in late February which teams will play for a championship in early January is an invitation to be mocked, harassed and badgered.

...But those who like to look for a solid pick with good odds, those who always are seeking the team flying just under the radar and those who love to bet on the dark horse should not forget a certain successful team in the Big Ten.

...That team is not Ohio State.

Again, this may be an invitation to be badgered, but upon close inspection, beware of Wisconsin in 2008.

Get it? Badgered?
