Across the country, today’s college football schedule is a bit of a dud. Most of the top teams across the college football landscape are playing low-ranked conference opponents, and the top two teams in the playoff rankings — Alabama and Clemson — are stooping to play FCS teams on the penultimate weekend of the regular season.
That’s why the one game between ranked teams on the schedule will draw so many eyeballs in the early going, and why College Gameday is on Bascom Hill in Madison this morning. It’s Wisconsin and Michigan squaring off at Camp Randall Stadium as the Badgers look to move to 11-0 and bolster their case for a spot in the playoff.
