Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan.

Those are the three teams B1G teams that always find a way into the College Football Playoff conversation. Despite three straight double-digit win seasons and two conference championship game appearances, nobody seems to put Wisconsin in that same discussion.

Badgers tight end Troy Fumagalli takes that personally.

Fumagalli, one of the nation’s top tight ends, sat down with BTN on Wednesday to talk about that topic and why he believes Wisconsin can be a contender for one of the four spots in the Playoff.

Wisconsin has come close to working its way into the conversation on a few occasions, but has come up just short. Could this year be a different story?

The Badgers are off to a strong start, defeating Utah State and Florida Atlantic in the first two weeks of the season and currently hold the No. 10 ranking in the AP poll.

This Saturday, the Badgers travel to BYU for a game against the Cougars.
