11. Wisconsin Badgers
Wisconsin opens vs Alabama. That game in and of itself boosts the Badgers’ schedule a few notches. Bama boasts the most highly touted roster in terms of recruiting rankings with seven consecutive recruiting titles depending on your service of choice.
Wisconsin hopes to catch the Tide still in the process of figuring out its passing game after losing Amari Cooper and its three biggest receiving threats overall. More importantly, Nick Saban is still undecided at quarterback.
Wisconsin’s other three non-conference games are of little note with Miami, Ohio, Troy and Hawaii. Although the Badgers typically make one of those type games a high wire act on an annual basis. Wisconsin faces two middle of the pack teams out of the East in Maryland and Rutgers. The Badgers destroyed the Terps and the Scarlet Knights by a combined 89-7 in 2014.
