The Badgers are coming off an ugly 42-10 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday in their worst loss of the season, setting them back to 5-4 and 3-3 in the conference.
Now, they get a chance to reset, with their second bye week coming in Week 11 before a tough contest against the top team in the country.
Oregon has been on a tear, winning six of their nine games by at least 20 points, while also beating the Ohio State Buckeyes 32-31.
It’ll be a big game for Wisconsin next weekend, as they’ll be playing in their third straight primetime outing against Oregon after seeing 6:30 games against both Penn State and Iowa over the past two weeks.
It’s the fourth night game of the year for Wisconsin, who also had a late kickoff in their season opener against Western Michigan. This one is the biggest yet, as they’ll host the No. 1 team in college football with another chance for a major upset.
