Is Wisconsin playing on Saturday? College football schedule for Badgers' next game after Week 11

The Wisconsin Badgers are 5-4 and coming off a 42-10 road loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes in Week 10. Wisconsin is on its open week.

Does Wisconsin play on Saturday?

The Wisconsin Badgers don't play on Saturday as they are on their second and final open week of the season.

Wisconsin returns to action at home against the No. 1-ranked Oregon Ducks on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Can Wisconsin make it to the College Football Playoff?

The Wisconsin Badgers can't make the College Football Playoff this season.

Wisconsin has four losses already, and two-loss teams won't be making the playoffs. Instead, the Badgers will focus on being bowl-eligible. They need to win one of their final three games to reach six wins and become bowl-eligible.

Coach Luke Fickell hasn't turned around Wisconsin as hoped, and he said he will do some reflection during the open week.

"We all know what we signed up for. It’s the same thing that every kid in that locker room did, and truly understands," Fickell said, via Buckys5thquarter. "You signed up for the best, and the expectation is you need to play the bet, and right now that’s not the case. It’s not like there is one thing that you can point at.

"After an Alabama game, you give up a couple shots, and it’s one of those things, ‘OK, they’ve got the wideout that is a difference-maker.’ This one is a lot different, and to me, there’s nothing that stings more than this.

"There’s gonna be a lot of guys, myself included first and foremost, that are going to have a self-check, and look in the mirror, and really kind of self-evaluate what they’re willing to do moving forward."

The Badgers are currently on a two-game losing streak, and there is a chance they will make a quarterback change after the open week.

There has been talk that the team may start true freshman Mabrey Mettauer.
