When Oregon and Wisconsin last faced off in 2020, the two programs legitimately could have considered themselves on equal footing. They’ve gone in different directions ever since.

No. 1 Oregon (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 1 College Football Playoff ) seems headed toward a playoff berth, while Wisconsin (5-4, 3-3) is merely attempting to have a winning season.

Much has changed since Oregon capped that 2019 season with a 28-27 Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin. Oregon went a combined 21-6 and Wisconsin was 18-9 from 2018-19.
