The Wisconsin Badgers are 11-0 for the first time in their program’s history and have clinched the Big Ten West, securing a spot in the conference championship opposite Ohio State. If the Badgers can defeat the Gophers and the Buckeyes, they’ll almost certainly be in the College Football Playoff, despite a lackluster schedule that hasn’t provided much of a challenge up to this point.
