UW vs. UDub in 2017, 2018

The Badgers have signed onto a home-and-home contract with the Washington Huskies for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. This is the fifth BCS conference opponent the Badgers will face out-of-conference in the next eight seasons (Arizona State, Oregon State, Washington State, and Virginia Tech). 

In 2017, the Badgers will play host to both Washington and Virginia Tech, making for one of the most potentially exciting OOC schedules in recent memory. Virginia Tech is well established as a consistent top-25 team under coach Frank Beamer, who has won five conference Coach of the Year awards and led his Hokies teams to multiple BCS bowl appearances and wins. Washington, under new head coach Steve Sarkisian, knocked off powerhouse USC earlier this season. If Sarkisian stays at Washington as the head coach, the prognosis is good for two exciting match ups for the Badgers in the 2017 season.
