Wisconsin will face a significant challenge as they host No. 4 Alabama at Camp Randall Stadium, with the Badgers being 16-point underdogs for the first time in over three decades. Urban Meyer expressed his fondness for Wisconsin and highlighted the challenge facing head coach Luke Fickell in reshaping the team's identity. Despite low expectations, with Alabama holding a 92.2% chance of victory according to ESPN FPI, some analysts believe Wisconsin has the potential for an upset due to an improved running game and a strong defense. Paul Finebaum noted that Alabama will face a real test in this game, especially after their shaky performance against South Florida. The matchup will be featured in Fox's Big Noon Kickoff, bringing national attention to the contest. As the game approaches, excitement builds around whether Wisconsin can defy the odds and secure an unexpected victory.
