Camp Randall Stadium, where the Badgers have played since 1917.

The Wisconsin Badgers college football team competes as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, representing the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the West Division of the Big Ten Conference. Wisconsin was one of seven original founding members of the Big Ten Conference, then known as the Western Conference, in 1896. Wisconsin has played their home games at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin since 1917.[citation needed]

Since the team's first season in 1889, the Badgers have participated in more than 1,100 officially sanctioned games, including 32 bowl games, and have finished in the top 25 of the national polls 27 times. Wisconsin is one of 26 college football programs to win 700 or more games.[citation needed] Since 1993, the Badgers have appeared in 27 bowl games in 29 seasons and won at least a share of the conference championship six times.

Notes[]

  • a The Big Ten Conference introduced divisional play in 2011; the divisional winners advance to the Big Ten Championship Game to determine the conference champion.[1]
  • b The Associated Press began conducting a weekly college football poll in 1936.[2]
  • c The college football coaches' poll has been sponsored by multiple organizations since its creation in 1950. Its current sponsor is USA Today.[2]
  • d Michigan State self-forfeited all wins in the 1994 season, resulting in Wisconsin's 1994 loss to Michigan State being retroactively changed to a win.
  • e Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible.[3]
