The 2024 college football season is on the horizon and Brett McMurphy of Action Network provided his bowl predictions Monday, including which bowl game he sees the Wisconsin Badgers playing in.
McMurphy has Wisconsin facing Texas A&M in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30 in Nashville, Tennessee. It would mark the Badgers’ 23rd consecutive year in a bowl game, but it would certainly be an underwhelming result knowing the newly-expanded 12-team college football playoff.
Wisconsin has appeared in the Music City Bowl once before, falling to Auburn 28-14 in December of 2003. Last season’s matchup in the game was between Auburn (6-6) and Maryland (7-5), so that’s roughly where McMurphy expects Wisconsin’s record to fall in the regular season.
Luke Fickell and his squad have a rather challenging schedule in 2024, facing upper-echelon programs like Alabama (home), USC (road), Penn State (home) and Oregon (home). The Badgers enter the season as underdogs in seven games, so McMurphy’s prediction isn’t a slight towards Wisconsin by any means.
In the end, the 2024 campaign will be a rather memorable one regardless based on the sheer amount of marquee matchups for the Badgers.
