No, I think we're Wisconsin

consistent top 10, top 15 team with good not great talent.

UW certainly has less talent than ND, but the overall story: good not great talent, consistently good not great results is likely where we are IMO. Are we EXACTLY Wisconsin, of course not. Are we playing out a version of their story? I think so.
