ESPN predicts the final score of Wisconsin football vs. Iowa in Week 9

The Wisconsin Badgers are being recognized across the nation following their lockdown 24-7 win against USC. The Associated Press ranked the Badgers No. 25, their first appearance in the rankings since 2023. However, you are only as good as your last win. For Luke Fickell’s squad, its next opportunity for that win comes this week against the US LBM Coaches Poll's No. 24 team, the Iowa Hawkeyes . So far this season, the Hawkeyes (5-2) have lost to Ohio State and Minnesota. Both of those losses came in their last three games. ESPN's Bill Connelly’s SP+ metric is one of the most well-respected in the sport; it often provides a great compass for that week’s games. Connelly recently revealed his prediction for when the Badgers travel to Kinnick Stadium. He projects the Hawkeyes to win 23-17, giving a 65% chance that Iowa takes down Fickell’s squad. What would a loss mean for the Badgers? Overall, dropping to 5-3 still provides a strong foundation for the final four games. In those, Wisconsin would likely be favored by varying amounts, creating opportunities to capitalize on the momentum it has built. Without a doubt, this is UW's toughest remaining road game on the

Washington Football Offers 2027 Wisconsin LB Commit From Arizona

Coming out of their bye week, the Washington Huskies extended an offer to three-star Desert Edge High School senior linebacker Nathan Jones, a Wisconsin commit in the 2027 class. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound hybrid defender for the Goodyear, Arizona high school announced his latest scholarship opportunity this week, his first offer since pledging his services to the Badgers back on May 31 after Jones made an official visit to Madison. UW has already secured a pair of Desert Edge seniors in this year's class, four-star quarterback Blake Roskopf and three-star wide receiver Zerek Sidney, with seven total Grand Canyon State recruits set to make the move to Seattle next year and the potential for an eighth with inside linebackers coach Brian Odom formally offering the three-star edge and No. 25 prospect from Arizona by 247Sports' rankings. Jones exploded on the scene as a junior with 25 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks alongside star pass rusher and eventual Badgers' 2028 commit Jelanie George, a former top target of UW outside linebackers coach Aaron Van Horn and defensive coordinator Ryan Walters. His production has only continued to blossom this fall for Desert Edge. After a great conversation with @CoachBOdom am blessed to

Duke guard John Blackwell heads list of notable men's college basketball transfers

Duke coach Jon Scheyer’s frank message made an impression on John Blackwell when the former Wisconsin guard entered the transfer portal. “He just kept it real,” Blackwell told reporters. “He didn’t sugarcoat. He said we’re going to push you every single day. That’s what it’s been.” Blackwell believes that approach could help him cap his college career with a deep postseason run with the second-ranked Blue Devils. The 6-foot-5 guard scored 1,505 points in three seasons at Wisconsin to rank 11th on the Badgers' career scoring list. Blackwell averaged 19.1 points and 5.1 rebounds last season while helping Wisconsin go 24-11 before an 83-82 loss to High Point in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. “He’s a proven scorer who’s been in those moments, also understands he doesn’t need to the ball to always impact winning,” Scheyer told reporters. A media panel made Blackwell a first-team preseason all-Atlantic Coast Conference selection. Blackwell finished second to Virginia forward Thijs De Ridder in voting for ACC preseason player of the year. Blackwell’s preseason performance showcases how much of an impact he could make for Duke . He scored 23 points in a 90-84 win over No. 17 Kansas and 18 points
