Get ready for a showdown that’s bound to shake the college football world! The No. 1-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes are heading to Madison to face the Wisconsin Badgers on October 18, and this game is loaded with drama you won’t want to miss. But here’s where it gets controversial: this marks the first time Ohio State will go head-to-head against their former head coach, Luke Fickell, who took the reins after Jim Tressel’s departure in 2011. Will it be a reunion or a reckoning?
Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m., and fans can catch all the action on CBS or stream it live on Paramount+. Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson will be calling the plays, ensuring you don’t miss a single moment of this high-stakes matchup. And this is the part most people miss: while the Buckeyes are sitting pretty at 4-0 and holding the top spot in the nation, the Badgers are looking to turn their season around with a 2-3 record. Can Wisconsin pull off the upset, or will Ohio State continue their dominant streak?
Before the big game, the Buckeyes will face No. 17 Illinois this Saturday at noon, and the Badgers will take on Iowa this weekend. Both teams have something to prove, and the road to Madison is heating up. But here’s the real question: Is this Fickell’s chance to show Ohio State what they’re missing, or will the Buckeyes remind everyone why they’re the top dogs? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is one debate you won’t want to sit out!
