Wisconsin Football: Breaking Down Big Ten Championship Scenarios

Wisconsin Badgers

The Badgers enter Axe Week at 9-2 and controlling their own destiny on the path to the Big Ten Title game. The Badgers have the easiest scenario of the five teams, as all they have to do is win and they are in. Wisconsin does not have to rely on any other team, which is always something you like to have this time of year. That being said, Wisconsin could clinch before even taking the field as well. Nebraska and Iowa will do battle on the Friday, as they now annually play the day after Thanksgiving. Because of this, Wisconsin will know what they need to do before even taking the field, which can be both a blessing and a curse. If Iowa were to beat Nebraska, the Badgers would clinch before taking the field and Saturday’s game would essentially not matter in terms of Big Ten play, but still plays largely in hopes of making the College Football playoff. Either way, Wisconsin Football does not seem to care about others results, as they just go out and play football and hopefully in turn clinch a spot in the Big Ten Title and keep their playoff hopes alive.
