CBS Sports sends ominous message on Luke Fickell as Wisconsin awaits Buckeyes buzzsaw

The Ohio State Buckeyes may be an inevitable loss for the Wisconsin Badgers this Saturday, even within the friendly confines of Camp Randall Stadium. A potentially embarrassing one at that, right on CBS's primetime slot at 3:30 E.T.

CBS Sports' Cody Nagel heavily implied that Luke Fickell can be fired with an embarrassing loss to the Buckeyes in Week 8. That doesn't feel like insignificant information from the Big Ten's broadcast partner about the matchup between the nation's No. 1 team and the flailing, unranked Badgers.

"Even with his seat heating up, owning a 15-17 overall record and 8-13 against Big Ten opponents, Fickell isn't worried about the optics of potentially his final game on the Badgers' sideline coming against his former school," Nagel wrote before sharing Fickell's coach-speak response about not worrying about outside noise.
