Rankings from AP Poll

Wisconsin won consecutive postseason bowl games for the first time ever with a 34–20 win over Duke in the Hall of Fame Bowl. Wisconsin's 31–19 win over Michigan in 1994 was the last time Wisconsin won in the confines of Michigan Stadium, until the 2010 Badgers defeated Michigan, 48–28, in Ann Arbor.

Michigan State later forfeited its victory over Wisconsin after university president M. Peter McPherson had the Spartans self forfeited their wins from the 1994 season due to his claim of a "lack of institutional control".
