2. Wisconsin Badgers

The second-of-two Big Ten teams that Clemson could play (that would be new to the Tigers in the CFB Playoff) would be the Wisconsin Badgers.

Wisconsin has the best offensive line in the nation with an extremely talented running back in Jonathan Taylor. Tie that in with a talented defense and you’ve got the winner of the Big Ten West Division.

The Badgers are my favorite to win the Big Ten at this point, and for good reason. They have a very favorable schedule and play in the weaker of the two divisions.

If Clemson and Wisconsin did match up on the grid iron, all the rave would be on the Tigers’ explosive defensive line going up against the Badgers’ powerful offensive line.
