BOUNCE BACK: Will Wisconsin Badgers SHOCK the Big Ten With an 8-Win Run This Year?

Wisconsin Badgers draw one of the Big Ten’s easiest paths in years—can Luke Fickell’s squad bounce back with an 8-win season Ryan Harings and Rajeev  break down the 2024 schedule, highlighting manageable stretches, potential trap games against Purdue and UCLA, and critical showdowns versus Notre Dame at Lambeau Field, Penn State, and Iowa. The hosts debate whether Wisconsin’s pedigree still commands respect or if other teams are now circling the Badgers for easy wins. Key topics include defensive depth concerns after losing Mason Reiger and Ben Barton, the potential of the revamped secondary with Burks, and pivotal games versus rivals Minnesota and USC. Thought-provoking stats—like facing six teams with three or fewer conference wins last year—add perspective to Wisconsin’s opportunities. Don’t miss this energetic debate on win projections, schedule superlatives, and what the Badgers must prove after a shaky season. "Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
