MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin Badgers football team may not be playing on New Year's Day, but the bowl game matchup for Champs Sports Bowl looks good on paper, even if it is on Dec. 29.

The game will feature two top 25 teams. The Miami Hurricanes finished the season ranked No. 15 and the Badgers are No. 25, but ask the players and they will say it's not good enough just to be invited.

"The big sentiment with us this year is finishing what we started," said offensive lineman John Moffitt. "We really want to go out there and end this season on a high note and move forwad for the next year."

"We are both 9-3 teams and we are both going to try to go out there and prove who is better," said running back John Clay. "And we are going to try to win the bowl game."

Last year, the Badgers were blown out 42-13 in the Champs Sports Bowl. The Badgers lost to coach Bobby Bowden and the Florida State Seminoles.
