Updated ESPN game-by-game predictions for Wisconsin football’s remaining schedule

A look at ESPN’s projection’s for Wisconsin football’s remaining schedule

In a year that began with ESPN’s Football Power Index favoring Wisconsin in every game on their schedule, the Badgers now sit at 2-3. Of their seven remaining games, ESPN FPI now sees two going in their opponents direction.

Each week, ESPN updates their Football Power Index and projects how the rest of Wisconsin’s season will play out. The Badgers are now underdogs in a game that they were favored in all year up until this point, and have only a 36.8% chance of winning their toughest remaining home game according to FPI.

Can the Badgers win out? ESPN FPI sees just above a 1% chance that Wisconsin turns this thing around and finishes at 9-3 on the regular season. Here is a look at each remaining game and the ESPN FPI projection for that contest:

Wisconsin TE Jake Ferguson voices a Week 1 hype video:

To prepare us for Week 1 of Wisconsin’s season, the Badgers put together a video that puts perspective on the last 21 months.

While the Badgers may have played a home opener last season, they never really felt like they were at home. While Wisconsin season ticket holders, students, and fans of all ages watched a season from their couches, it almost felt like a season barely took place. With fans absent from stadiums, we missed arguably the best part of college football. The Badgers are ready to once again pack Camp Randall for the first time in what has felt like an eternity.

Wisconsin TE Jake Ferguson and the entire team are ready to welcome you back to Camp Randall tomorrow afternoon:

Full schedule analysis with best and worst scenarios below

Oct. 9 at Illinois

Dec. 4 Big Ten Championship (in Indianapolis)

Games vs. The East: Michigan, Penn State,Β at Rutgers

Missed Teams From The East:Β Indiana, Maryland, Michigan State, Ohio State

Wisconsin Badgers Football Schedule Analysis:Β It’s not going to be a boring first half of the season.

On the negative side, the Badgers have to play Michigan and Penn State from the East. On the positive side, both games are at home. Those two along with the date with Notre Dame in Chicago come in the first games, and if that wasn’t annoying enough, playing Army in the middle of two road games stinks.

Iowa, Northwestern and Nebraska are all in Camp Randall in the second half of the year, but the regular season finale is at Minnesota.

Wisconsin Badgers Football Schedule Best Case Scenario:Β The Badgers take care of home. They beat Penn State, Michigan, Iowa, Northwestern and Nebraska in Madison, and they hit the knuckleball against Army. Start there, throw in a great win over Notre Dame, and they can afford one off day against Minnesota or in one of those nasty home dates and still be in the College Football Playoff hunt.

Wisconsin Badgers Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: Realistically this won’t be a losing season, but there are enough gaffes early to finish with just six to seven wins.

The wheels come off right away. The Badgers lose to both Penn State and Michigan, and start 1-3 with a loss to the Irish. Things get even rougher after not handling the Army option running game one week, and the Purdue passing attack the following week.
