The Badgers were previously ranked at No. 10 by Connelly but have since dropped seven spots in the final projections. Wisconsin is among several Big Ten schools near the top of the rankings including Ohio State(No. 3), Michigan(No. 6), Penn State(No. 13) and Michigan State(No. 15).
It is a surprise to see the Badgers drop so far from earlier this summer in the final projections, but hopefully, they will prove projections wrong this upcoming season.
Below you can see the rest of Bill Connelly’s SP+ projections:
