It’s the marquee event of Week 1 of the college football season as even ESPN’s College GameDay pregame show will be on hand at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
No. 3 Alabama will be facing the first of seven opponents ranked in the preseason Associated Press Poll, while No. 20 Wisconsin doesn’t have any others on its schedule.
History isn’t necessarily on the side of the Badgers, who last year lost a close season opener to No. 13 LSU in the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff in Houston, 28-24, and will face the Tigers again to open the 2016 season at Lambeau Field.
