Following their home win over top-10 team Penn State last week, the No. 3 Ohio State (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) will make a trip to Madison for the Week 9 clash against Wisconsin (5-2, 3-1 Big Ten). The Buckeyes have maintained an unbeaten run and will hope to keep it intact against the unranked Badgers.
The Wisconsin game presents an opportunity for Ohio State to make a strong impression on the College Football Playoff committee just before it releases its initial rankings. The Buckeyes are looking to make a return to the playoffs and go all the way to the national championship.
The focal narrative for this game centers on Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell, who had a notable college football career as a defensive end at Ohio State between 1993 and 1996. He went on to be a part of the coaching staff for the Buckeyes from 2002 to 2016. Certainly, he will look to make things difficult for his former team.
