After losing to the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, the Wisconsin Badgers are now predicted to play against the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Fiesta Bowl by the latest bowl projections from USA Today.
The Badgers have never played in a Fiesta Bowl before, but have played the Bearcats four times in their program history. Wisconsin has won three of the four matchups between them, with the only loss coming back in 1999 when the Badgers were defeated 17-12.
The College Football Playoff teams for this week include Alabama, Oklahoma, Clemson and Ohio State.
Although the Fiesta Bowl projection is quite an honor for the Badgers, they will have to rebound against Eastern Michigan on Saturday to continue to live up to those expectations.
