How many teams can claim to have a better two-game stretch than Wisconsin right now?

It started with the 2015 Holiday Bowl, when Wisconsin upset USC, ending a winning streak against the current Big Ten that dated to 1996. It continued with an upset over No. 5 LSU in Green Bay to start the 2016 season.

Beyond the final score, the game wasn't much to write about. It was an ugly affair. LSU scored two touchdowns midway through the third quarter after two Wisconsin turnovers (one a pick-six). Wisconsin should get credit for grinding LSU's offense to a halt, but LSU's offense may have sputtered without its help. The Tigers were 2-10 on third down. Fittingly, LSU's chances ended with an interception.

All the same, Wisconsin spared itself the ignominy of an "S-E-C" chant in its home state. Cheers, Badgers. When you say Wisconsin, you've said it all.
