As most of you know Wisconsin just beat Auburn in an exciting bowl game so I looked up how Alabama and Wisconsin compared when playing Auburn.

Looking at these stats Wisconsin's defense played a lot better against Auburn than Alabama's did. Auburn actually outplayed Alabama in a lot of stats where as Wisconsin outplayed Auburn in most stats. The only thing Alabama did better than Wisconsin against Auburn was passing which means our cornerbacks are going to have to play well and also the turnover margin. Without the 3 more turnovers that Wisconsin had it would not have been near as close. Just seems odd that Wisconsin played just as well if not better against Auburn I know this doesn't mean much, but just seems odd.
