A quick guide to former Badgers and their teams wanting to play for an NFL championship.

Four NFL teams vie for two conference championships and the right to play in Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif. With that, four former Wisconsin Badgers could find themselves nearing professional football immortality a couple of weeks from today.

Last week, former Badgers Jared Abbrederis and Scott Tolzien's Green Bay Packers lost in heartbreaking fashion, 26-20, in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals. Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks found themselves in a 31-0 hole in the first half, then fought back only to fall short by seven points to the Carolina Panthers, 31-24.
