Wisconsin remains projected for bowl game appearance despite Week 1 loss

Following a Week 1 loss to Notre Dame, Wisconsin remains in contention for a postseason bowl appearance. ESPN analysts Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach have projected the Badgers to participate in bowl games scheduled for December 26. Schlabach suggests a potential matchup against Pittsburgh in the Duke's Mayo Bowl at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Alternatively, Bonagura projects Wisconsin to compete in the Cactus Bowl at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, facing Kansas. Pittsburgh enters the conversation after a 59-14 win over Miami (OH), while Kansas secured a 51-6 victory against Long Island. Both analysts maintain their postseason projections despite the initial loss to Notre Dame.
