3. Two overtime victories

Overtime in college, unlike the NFL, is fun and exciting. Fans love to tune in to the extra period to see what is going to happen. Each team has the chance to score the ball, beginning with possession from the 25-yard line. They continue alternating possessions until the teams are no longer tied after a period (each team possessing the ball once is an overtime period).

Due to the Badgers style of play (ground and pound), a lot of games are close ones. They leave themselves very little margin for error, but also don’t allow opponents with superior talent to walk all over them. Especially with the upcoming schedule, Wisconsin will play in two overtime games and get two overtime victories.

There are two road games that stick out in my mind as having the most potential for overtime. However, I won’t get into that specific details, as just keep my predictions as the Badgers having two extra period victories.
