Three games Wisconsin must win to return to a bowl game in 2026

Luke Fickell enters the 2026 campaign with a friendlier Big Ten slate for Wisconsin, following a prior postseason appearance in the ReliaQuest Bowl opposite LSU. To secure another postseason berth, the Badgers will navigate matchups against Indiana, Oregon, Michigan, and Ohio State, building upon an early 3-1 mark that included a victory over Penn State.

Specifically, upcoming late-season contests against Rutgers on November 7th, Maryland on November 14th, and Purdue on November 21st present prime opportunities for success as those opponents struggle through difficult records.
