After back-to-back losses to Alabama and USC in late September, the Badgers have won two straight games in convincing fashion over Purdue and Rutgers to improve to 4-2 (2-1 in the Big Ten).
Penn State, meanwhile, is off to a 6-0 start. The Nittany Lions are the No. 3 ranked team in the country, having just beaten USC 33-30 in overtime in Los Angeles on Saturday.
In the meantime, the Badgers travel to Northwestern for a road game this Saturday; Penn State is on a bye leading in to the October 26 showdown in Madison.
NBC's Big Ten Saturday Night has produced big ratings so far this season, with last weekend's clash between then-No. 2 Ohio State and then-No. 3 Oregon posting the conference's highest-rated primetime game since 2008 with more than 10 million total viewers.
The Ducks beat the Buckeyes 32-31 to remain undefeated. Oregon is now the No. 2 ranked team in the nation.
