The Wisconsin Badgers are still in search of their first College Football Playoff appearance since its inception back in 2014, despite having several highly productive seasons since then.
Wisconsin had its best shot back in 2017 when starting the season 12-0, only to fall in the Big Ten Championship to Ohio State, losing its shot at the College Football Playoff.
Back in 2016, Wisconsin suffered three losses (Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State), but still finished No. 8 in the final College Football Playoff poll. In 2019, the Badgers had a great shot, but had a killer 24-23 loss to an unranked Illinois squad.
