2. Badgers win the Big Ten

All of these great offensive performances will allow Wisconsin to roll through their non-conference and conference slates and enter the Big Ten Championship game undefeated once more.

In recent history, the Badgers have struggled in this game. They lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes last year 21-27 for the only blemish on their record. The previous season they blew a big lead against the Penn State Nittany Lions and ended up losing 31-38. In 2014, they got absolutely embarrassed against Ohio State 59-0. Now, it’s been six years since Wisconsin won the Big Ten Championship when they erased the Nebraska Cornhuskers 70-31.

If it wasn’t for four straight victories in the Bowl games, there’d be even more questions around Wisconsin’s ability to win the big one. Fortunately, they ride their offense and change all of that this season by taking down the winner of the Big Ten East.
