Where Wisconsin football landed in the ESPN FPI preseason top 25

Wisconsin football underwent an offseason of change as the Badgers have an entirely new coaching staff, a new starting quarterback, and new belief headed into the 2023 campaign.

ESPN’s College Football Power Index (FPI for short) annually puts together statistical predictions of how each college football season will play out. The Badgers landed in the top 25 according to overall FPI scores, with a Big Ten school topping the list.

FPI also gives percentages for how likely a team is to win their conference, go to the College Football Playoff, and win the national championship.
