One of Nebraska or Wisconsin will exit their Week 13 college football matchup with bowl eligibility.

The other will have its back against the wall heading into a pivotal final week still in need of a victory to reach that six-win bowl game threshold.

Nebraska (5-5, 2-5 Big Ten) hasn't achieved bowl eligibility since 2016, and is 0-8 in its last eight matchups that could result in earning that coveted sixth win of the season, dating back to the 2023 season. The Cornhuskers have to beat one of Wisconsin or Iowa to reach a bowl.

Meanwhile, the Badgers have struggled offensively throughout much of the 2024 season after losing starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to a season-ending injury in their early season loss to Alabama. They need to beat Nebraska or Minnesota to reach their second consecutive bowl appearance under second-year coach Luke Fickell, who was hired away from Cincinnati prior to the 2023 season.

Wisconsin is also playing without offensive coordinator Phil Longo, who was fired after its loss to No. 1 Oregon in Week 12. Longo will be replaced Saturday by a variety of offensive coaches, per Fickell.

Nebraska also hopes to bring home the Freedom Trophy for the first time since 2012, the last year the Cornhuskers defeated Wisconsin. Here's how to watch Nebraska-Wisconsin in Week 13 of the college football season:

Mark Stewart, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Nebraska 23, Wisconsin 18: Recent performances against Penn State and Oregon should have the Badgers primed to put together a solid effort on the road, but they’ve yet to play well against a quality defense. Plus at some point the law of averages will catch up to them and Nebraska will get a win in this series. 

JR Radcliffe, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Nebraska 24, Wisconsin 17: Wisconsin had nothing to lose last week against Oregon, but this week feels like a much more tense crossroads for the program. The offensive coordinator has been fired, and Wisconsin is traveling to a hostile environment against a team that is desperate for a bowl berth and desperate to finally get the best of the Badgers. The two programs are in such a similar place, fighting for the same morsel of terrain near the exact middle of the perceived Big Ten pecking order. Nebraska has lost five straight, but four by one score. I don't know if they're really better than Wisconsin, but I think they're going to finally find a way.
