Wisconsin is looking to go to a bowl game for the 23rd straight season. After Saturday's blowout win over Purdue, they're only three wins away from becoming bowl-eligible. Let's find out where the experts think the the Badgers could be playing.

Pinstripe Bowl, Dec. 28 in Bronx, N.Y.

The Badgers last played in the Pinstripe Bowl in 2018 and they took down Miami (FL) 35-3. Action Network's Brett McMurphy projects that they will matchup with Louisville for the first time ever this year.

Detroit Bowl, Dec. 26 in Detroit, Michigan

Since its inception in 2024, Wisconsin has never played in the Detroit Bowl, formerly called the Quick Lane Bowl. A matchup with Toledo would be their third all-time meeting and that's how ESPN's Mark Schlabach has it going.

Guaranteed Rate Bowl, Dec. 26 in Phoenix, Arizona

Wisconsin has faced West Virginia four times before and the Badgers have won each time. A fifth meeting between the two could come in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl on Dec. 26, according to 247Sports' Brad Crawford. The Guaranteed Rate Bowl is played at the Arizona Diamondbacks stadium and it would be the Badgers second all-time appearance in the game.

Gasparilla Bowl, Dec. 20 in Tampa Bay, Florida

The Gasparilla Bowl is played at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' home stadium. Jerry Palm of CBS Sports projects that Wisconsin will face North Carolina, a team that they've only played twice in program history. It would also be the Badgers first time playing in the Gasparilla Bowl.
