FB Bowl bound

Wisconsin Football : Bowl-bound


The Wisconsin Badgers earned Bowl eligibility for the 22nd consecutive season with an overtime win over Nebraska at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 18. Wisconsin also tallied a victory to finish the season, reclaiming Paul Bunyan's Axe with a victory over Minnesota on Nov. 25. The Badgers' 22-season bowl streak is the third-longest in the nation. 

With a handful of bowl games that feature Big Ten tie-ins, Wisconsin could end up at a variety of destinations for a bowl game during the holiday season in late December or early January.

Among Big Ten teams, only Wisconsin (22), Ohio State (12) and Iowa (11) have active bowl streaks of 10 or more seasons. UW has won 8 of its last 9 bowl games, dating to 2014. No FBS team has more bowl wins since (excluding the CFP National Championship).
