Hummel appears to have had it with the officiating in this one. He’s not even bothering to try to hide it.

Northwestern getting homered in Madison.

I really hope NW pulls this out. I'm sick of UW winning home games like this.

[Stuhoo]

This is looking like it’s gonna be a big big win for NW

[Uspshoosier]

Northwestern wins it.

Wow. You’re either calling the foul on Wohl or a walk, but you’re calling something. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Umm. Northwestern very lucky. Seems IU would never earn those non calls down the stretch. That’s a big win for them.

Ohio State really in trouble. Wisconsin teetering on the edge. This win, at this point probably puts NW in ATM.

6 teams at 7-5 in conference. What a cluster. I’m hoping we start to separate ourselves. We need to win at NW when we play them.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but against Rutgers and at NW will be huge for us in the B1G race.

Northwestern was probably around the 9 seed range before this game.  Another road win will move them to the 8 line most likely for me

Next four out:  Southern Miss, Clemson, Arizona St, Virginia Tech.

Where do you have Clemson, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia?  My WAR has them all out, but I think in reality Clemson and West Virginia are in and Pittsburgh is just out.  But I think by the end of the year, Clemson may very well have fallen out.

I didn’t care for him as a player, bc of that jersey, but I def like him as a commentator

Clemson one of the Last 4 byes.   Pittsburgh and West Virginia 9 or 10 seed range

What about Mountain West teams?  I know my system is an outlier that really likes the MWC.

My system likes the Mountain West as well.  Their results-based metrics are especially good, because of their out of conference success.  I have Clemson out (#69), Pittsburgh out (#59).  I have West Virginia (#31) in as an 8-seed range.  Pittsburgh, though, reminds me of Rutgers last year, as they have 5 wins over my top 50, so I think they'd get in based on that.  My system does not like the ACC in general, and having to play Georgia Tech, Florida State, and Louisville won't help the rest of them any.
