A few months back, we took a way-too-early look at Wisconsin’s 2016 bowl prospects. It was the bye week, prime real estate for idle speculation, as the Badgers had just come off a loss to Michigan and it felt like it was going to be a nice, if slightly more respectable than expected, season.
Now, the Badgers find themselves in Indianapolis, playing for a Big Ten championship against an Ohio State, a Michigan, a Penn State team looking to cap a magical season of its own. Regardless of outcome, Wisconsin will be a-bowlin’ soon, and probably somewhere pretty fun.
