Will the Wisconsin Badgers be on the field today in Week 12 of the 2024 college football season?
Following a demoralizing 42-10 loss to Iowa in Week 11, the Badgers are on a bye week and will return to the field on Nov. 12.
That looming matchup is against the Oregon Ducks — the current No. 1-ranked team in both the AP Poll and College Football Playoff rankings. Oregon hosts Maryland on Saturday before making the trip to Madison, Wisconsin for the primetime Week 12 showdown.
Wisconsin will enter the matchup at 5-4 overall and 3-3 in Big Ten play. A win wouldn’t just clinch bowl eligibility for the 23rd consecutive season, it would be the program’s first win over an AP No. 1 team since 2010.
Here’s a look at what Wisconsin has left before the 2024 regular season concludes.
