Wisconsin would not make a postseason bowl game for the first time since the 1992 season. As a result of college football's adoption of an overtime beginning with the 1995 bowl season and the 1996 regular season, Wisconsin's 3–3 tie against Illinois is the last tied game in school history, as well as the last tied game in NCAA Division I-A history.
