MADISON, Wisc. – Wisconsin can win the national championship. This is meant in the very obvious sense: Wisconsin annually fields a football team; owns jerseys, pads and helmets; features a full roster of student-athletes, most on scholarship for their athletic ability; and plays its games in a football stadium, as part of the Big Ten Conference. The Badgers are one of 129 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision eligible to win the national title.
