The Action Network's Brett McMurphy released his bowl predictions ahead of Week 12 of the 2024 college football season on Monday.
For the first time in three weeks, McMurphy predicts Wisconsin to play in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl against the LSU Tigers on Dec. 30.
A member of the SEC, the Tigers currently hold a 6-3 overall record and a 3-2 mark against conference opponents. Brian Kelly's squad also boasts the No. 21 position in the latest AP Poll.
Only No. 3 Texas, No. 6 Tennessee, No. 9 Alabama, No. 10 Ole Miss, No. 11 Georgia and No. 15 Texas A&M out of the loaded SEC land ahead of LSU in the most recent poll.
Despite dropping its past two games to No. 15 Texas A&M and No. 9 Alabama, LSU has defeated No. 23 South Carolina, No. 10 Ole Miss, Arkansas, South Alabama, UCLA and Nicholls this season.

Wisconsin, meanwhile, is 5-4 after Week 11 after losing its most recent game against Iowa by 32 points. The team was on bye during Week 12 and will suit up to play No. 1 Oregon at home on Nov. 16.
Luke Fickell's program sits No. 8 in the Big Ten with a 3-3 conference record and wins against Purdue, Rutgers and Northwestern.
If McMurphy's prediction is accurate, this would be the first time Wisconsin appears in the Music City Bowl since it lost 28-14 to Auburn in 2003.
