08:13 AM ET 09.01 | Some pollsters have Wisconsin among their top five, and the Badgers are embracing the expectations. Bret Bielema, whose college football resume includes more than two decades as either a player or a coach, can't remember this much hype heading into a season. The University of Wisconsin football coach isn't hiding from it, either. In fact, he's embracing it with open arms. "It's fun," he said this week. "I think it's a sign of respect." As the Badgers open the 2011 season Thursday night against UNLV at Camp Randall Stadium, it's fair to wonder if this is the start of something big. ... There hasn't been this much buzz surrounding the UW program since 2000.

That being said, Ole Miss didn't light the world on fire in a similar situation last year.

Yep-If Wilson plays as well as he did with NC State they could be playing for the BCS title in New Orleans.
