Projection: likely out
Wisconsin's résumé pairs an encouraging neutral-site victory over Providence and solid home wins over Marquette and Northwestern with blunt setbacks that will not be overlooked. Lopsided defeats at Nebraska and neutral losses to BYU, TCU and Villanova have left durable stains and expose how shaky the team can be away from Madison. With few signature scalps, the Badgers must use upcoming games against Central Michigan and Wisconsin–Milwaukee and home opportunities like Rutgers and Maryland to restore momentum because the road tests at Michigan, Purdue, Oregon, Washington and Illinois are high-leverage chances that could either repair the résumé or deepen the damage.
