Fan Pulse Results

Confidence is up for the third week in a row... but by less than one percent. It now sits at 84% right now.

We have finally reached the point of the season where I’ll start to hide previous weeks so you don’t have to try and scroll over to see the most recent week-over-week change. Hopefully as football season has drawn to a close I will get the data from SBNation and can post it sooner in the week so the AP results aren’t a few days old, too.

Big changes for the week see Northwestern up almost 30%, while Wisconsin sunk over 40%.
