(5-0) Ohio State Buckeyes at (4-1) Wisconsin Badgers

Date: October 15th, 2016

Time: 8:00pm

Location: Camp Randall Stadium, Wisconsin

TV: ABC

How it could help Louisville: Louisville needs Ohio State or Michigan to lose two games this season to avoid the committee choosing two Big-Ten teams this year. You may not agree that those two are worthy, but they are. Therefore, Louisville needs Wisconsin to hand the Buckeyes their first loss of the season on Saturday. Ohio State still has many tough games on their schedule and it would really help the Cardinals if they took a loss this week.

If they lost, Louisville would surely make it back into the top five or six and be in better playoff positioning than they were a week ago.

Hope is not all lost Cardinals fans. Louisville still has a chance, but they need Ohio State to lose a few games this season.
