Earlier this summer, various media reports suggested Wisconsin and Syracuse were discussing a football series at some point down the road.
These will be the sixth and seventh all-time meetings between the two programs, and contrary to the programs’ current standings, it’s the Orange who hold the series advantage, 3-1-1, including a 2-1 mark in Madison. On top of that, the Badgers’ future games at BYU and at South Florida have been modified with UW opting to play at BYU in 2017 and at USF in 2019.
UW is scheduled to host Syracuse on September 12, 2020. In fact, Wisconsin’s only win in the series came in 1972, when the Badgers won 31-8 in Madison. And the Badgers will host non-conference games against New Mexico in 2018 and Central Michigan and North Texas in 2019.
