The University of Wisconsin has accepted an invitation to play in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida on Jan. 1, 2008.

The Badgers (9-3), who will be playing in the 19th bowl game in school history, will face a yet-to-be determined opponent from the Southeastern Conference at Raymond James Stadium in a game to be televised live on ESPN.

It'll also be the 13th bowl game in the last 15 seasons for the Badgers, including their school record sixth consecutive appearance this year..

Wisconsin has played in the Outback Bowl three times, knocking off Duke 34-20 in the 1995 game (then know as the Hall of Fame Bowl).  UW then dropped a pair of games with Georgia in 1998 and 2005 respectively.
