No. 7 Nebraska at No. 11 Wisconsin TV schedule mat

The Big Ten is a hotbed for Top 10 matchups, and each one has a team in common: Wisconsin.The Badgers are rolling through the toughest schedule in the nation and will face a fourth ranked team in the last five weeks when they host Nebraska on Saturday. Get ready for a Big Ten West showdown.MORE: Here's how to watch Nebraska at Wisconsin, and keys to victory for both teams.Nebraska Jake Plummer Jersey at WisconsinWhen: Saturday, Oct. 29, 7 p.m. ETWhere: Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, Wisc.TV: ESPNOnline: ESPN3.comNebraska-Wisconsin all-time seriesFor two football powers, you'd think Nebraska and Wisconsin would have played more than 10 times Bernhard Seikovits Jersey in their history. The Badgers hold a 6-4 edge in the series and have won four of the five Big Ten games the teams have played. And in Big Ten fashion, the winner of this game receives the Freedom Trophy.Numbers that matter+85Nebraska hasn't really impre sed in any win this year (save its game against Oregon before we knew the Ducks were bad), but the Huskers know how to dominate the fourth quarter. Nebraska has outscored opponents 98-13 in the final 15 minutes for a +85 margin, and that's helped it close the door on any comebacks for its opponents. That stamina could be useful against one of the nation's best defenses Saturday.5Wisconsin is facing its fifth team ranked in the Top 10 this season when it hosts Nebraska on Saturday, a program record. Say all you want about the toughne s of the SEC schedule, but the Badgers easily have the toughest schedule in the nation. Now two of its past Top 10 opponents (LSU and Michigan State) may not have lived up to their rankings, but one was a neutral-site game and one was on the road and Wisconsin was the Ron'Dell Carter Jersey underdog in both. Overcoming that perception and winning convincingly makes Wisconsin look even better.49The Huskers are a very good third-down team, converting 49 percent of their chances, and they have a duo of QB Tommy Armstrong Jr. and RB Terrell Newby to thank. Nebraska's efficiency will be tested against Wisconsin's staunch third-down defense that allows just a 24.7 percent conversion rate. Something's gotta give.Social buzzA lot of James Wiggins Jersey talk will surround Wisconsin's defense and how dominant it's played against top opponents this season, and we'll see if it can play well enough to actually win in a Big Ten top 10 matchup and prove its worth in the CFP conversation. The Badgers fell short against Michigan and Ohio State and a win against Nebraska could legitimize all the talk.The big questionHow much will this game matter in the Big Ten West? For all the praise Wisconsin has gotten for its outstanding defense, the Badgers still have two Big Ten lo ses to Nebraska's zero. Wisconsin is currently tied for fifth in the Big Ten West (two Antonio Hamilton Jersey games back of Nebraska)and very much needs a win over the Cornhuskers to stay in the West race. It's a shame that Wisconsin's will need to win out and get some help from other teams just to make the Big Ten title game, so while this game is hyped right now, it may not matter in the long run.
