The Wisconsin Badgers are in the thick of the Big 10 race thanks to two huge wins against conference opponents, one of which handed the No. 1 team in the country their first loss of the season.
Wisconsin's only loss of the season came at Michigan State in a game where they just never seemed like they were able to get over the hump.
The Badgers quickly bounced back, upsetting top ranked Ohio State in Madison just two weeks later. It was an impressive win, with Wisconsin jumping out to a 14-0 lead just minutes into the contest.
Maybe even more impressive was the team's one-point victory at Iowa the next week. It's nearly impossible win at Ryan Field, yet Wisconsin was able to come down from the excitement over the Ohio State win to get the job done.
The schedule down the stretch is relatively easy, and Wisconsin does hold the tiebreaker over both Iowa and Ohio State. However, they are going to have to win out and hope that Michigan State falls to have a shot at the Big 10 title and a trip to the Rose Bowl.
