The Wisconsin Badgers are coming off a frustrating loss and ready to take on their second Los Angeles-based team, USC. It's also the second-ranked team in a row, most likely the third back-to-back-to-back when Wisconsin travels to Iowa next week. Right now, the Hawkeyes are ranked No. 15.
Here's all the details you will want to know, it's a Game Day Guide.

Weather forecast in Madison, Wisconsin
It's going to be a great Saturday at Camp Randall, with temperatures hitting 71 earlier in the day. By game time, the temperatures will have dropped from that as the sun will be gone, but it should be a nice evening under the lights. Winter hasn't quite arrived, and fall is bringing some wonderful sunshine and pleasant, if chilly, evenings.
Wisconsin and USC series history
This Big Ten matchup is relatively new, as USC has only recently been added to the conference. The Badgers and Trojans have played eight times in total, but only two of those have been in the modern era. One was in 2015, and one was played in 2024.
- All-time meetings: 8

Wisconsin has only played one Big Ten game against USC, and it was two years ago in Los Angeles. The other recent meeting was in 2015 and was the lone win that Wisconsin has over USC. That game was in the Holiday Bowl and was a Wisconsin victory of 23-21.
