Eastern Michigan vs. Wisconsin preview
This is the latest in a series of early season matchups between members of the MAC Conference and members of the Big Ten, and while certain matchups -- lookin' at you, Western Michigan vs. Michigan -- have been unpredictable, Wisconsin still enters as the clear favorite here. The Badgers started their season with a massive challenge, losing to Notre Dame under the lights of Lambeau Field, but bounced back last week with their first real warm-up game of the season against Western Illinois. This game should be a confidence booster for them ahead of their conference opener in Week 4.
As for Eastern Michigan, they're slightly ahead of the curve when it comes to other MAC teams. A quirk of the schedule means that they've already played their conference opener, beating Sacramento State in Week 0, so they're actually technically leading their conference in wins for the moment. Last week, they lost to Michigan State without much of a fight, but these Big Ten matchups are a good way to toughen up this team. And they've got plenty to prove, even with plenty of returning starters and consistent coaching.

Eastern Michigan vs. Wisconsin players to watch
On the Eastern Michigan side of the ball, keep an eye on experienced returning starting quarterback Noah Kim, as well as defensive standouts like linebacker Zach Mowchan, who's already logged more than half his entire 2025 total tackles in just three games.
When it comes to Wisconsin, the Badgers have some exciting transfers who are finding their feet in the Big Ten, chief among them being former Old Dominion quarterback Colton Joseph and former Iowa State running back Abu Sama III. They're both productive offensive weapons, and if they can use this game to get in deeper rhythm, the Badgers could be a serious threat in conference play.
