The Wisconsin Badgers are fresh off the close of spring practices, so it’s the perfect time to lay down one of my classic pieces on the best, worst, and most likely paths for this squad in 2024.
Spoiler alert: the range of potential outcomes I’m about to explore is pretty wide and can take the program in very different directions heading into 2025. Buckle up.
Best Case (11-3, loss in CFB Playoff Quarterfinals)
I always love starting with this one, and in early May, the sky’s the limit for the Badgers.
Here, health is Wisconsin’s friend and, riding the wave of a mid-September upset of Alabama in Camp Randall, the Tyler Van Dyke led squad is shot from a cannon with Phil Longo’s Air Raid clicking and Mike Tressel’s rebuilt defense playing fast and aggressive.
