Oct 28, 2023; Madison, Wisconsin, USA; Ohio State Buckeyes running back TreVeyon Henderson (32) runs through Wisconsin Badgers linebacker Maema Njongmeta (55) during the second half of the NCAA football game at Camp Randall Stadium. Ohio State won 24-10.

After the Wisconsin Badgers face the Iowa Hawkeyes this Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium, their Week 8 matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes remains their most anticipated of the season thus far. Following Week 7, Wisconsin will, in all likelihood, be hosting the No. 1 team in the country on October 18.

The Badgers announced their game time for 2:30 p.m. CT against the Buckeyes. The game will be broadcast live on CBS. The last time the two programs faced off was Oct. 23, 2023, when Ohio State pulled off a 24-10 win in Madison.

It’s been nearly 15 years since Wisconsin last beat Ohio State in football. The Badgers have suffered 10-straight losses, and have an all-time series record of 18-63-5.

The Buckeyes are rolling through the 2025 season at 5-0. Last week, they dominated the Minnesota Golden Gophers, 42-3. This week, they’ll have a tougher matchup against No. 17 Illinois.

Wisconsin, on the other hand, has been suffering its worst season in years. The team is 2-3 and 0-2 in Big Ten conference play, after most recently losing to No. 20 Michigan on the road, 24-10.

This weekend will give the Badgers a chance to get back to .500, but no matter the record, Oct. 18’s matchup against Ohio State will be the biggest of the season leading up to that point.
