ESPN FPI saw a tough road ahead for the Wisconsin Badgers after their 38-17 loss at home to Michigan.
The metric projected Wisconsin to finish with a 5-7 record with losses coming against Purdue, Iowa, Nebraska and Rutgers.
But a lot has now changed with the team’s 24-0 beatdown of Illinois and other results around the conference. FPI now sees several of those results flipped, as well as a closer contest when Iowa comes to Madison.
The season is already a mild disappointment with the 1-3 start thanks to three losses to ranked teams. But a lot of the Big Ten schedule is still on the horizon. Wisconsin undeniably has a chance to make a run and make many forget about the first four games of the year.
