# 1995 Wisconsin Badgers football team

The 1995 Wisconsin Badgers football team represented the University of Wisconsin during the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. They were led by sixth year head coach Barry Alvarez and participated as members of the Big Ten Conference. The Badgers played their home games at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin. Wisconsin did not make a postseason bowl game for the first time since the 1992 season.
The Badgers 3–3 tie with Illinois on November 25 is the last tie in FBS history as the NCAA implanted an overtime system following the season that eliminated the possibility of a tie.
