Between the third and fourth quarters at Camp Randall Stadium, Wisconsin fans leap to House of Pain's "Jump Around," a tradition so cherished that its brief cancellation caused an uproar. The stadium in Madison opened in 1917 and seats 76,030. The Badgers compete in the Big Ten, and their rivalry with Minnesota, the most-played rivalry in FBS, is played for Paul Bunyan's Axe. Below you'll find each game of the season, with times and channels updated as networks make their picks.
