RANKING: Top ten players for the Wisconsin Badgers in 2024

Wisconsin football is approaching its 2024 season opener against Western Michigan in less than 200 days. This season holds significant importance for coach Luke Fickell and the program, following a 7-6 record in 2023, which is understandable for a first year in a new coaching position.

However, excuses or explanations for first-year challenges fade away as year two begins. Therefore, Wisconsin’s success in the upcoming season will rely on their transfer portal acquisitions and returning players to restore the Badgers to their position at the top of the conference, despite facing one of the Big Ten’s toughest schedules.

Looking ahead to 2024, comprehensive rankings of all 18 Big Ten programs and head coaches have been compiled, along with predictions for each team’s record and assessments of Las Vegas win totals for the conference.
