Projected seed: 7

Wisconsin’s résumé reads like a team the committee would feel comfortable taking at-large because it pairs signature road victories with quality home results, yet it still carries a few damaging blemishes; the road win at Michigan and the tough-road victory at Illinois along with strong home wins over Michigan State and Ohio State and a neutral-site victory over Providence show they can beat good opponents away from home and on neutral floors. Those signature moments are tempered by an ugly loss at Nebraska, a damaging home defeat to Purdue and neutral-site setbacks to BYU, TCU and Villanova that cap the upside. Remaining road tests at Oregon and Washington and a home date with Maryland are clear opportunities to turn resume questions into résumé makers while the season-ending trip to Purdue is a make-or-break chance that could elevate or cement their standing. The mix of impressive road wins, harmful slip-ups and a handful of meaningful remaining games is exactly why their placement lands where it does.
