15. Wisconsin
Coach:
Bret Bielema, who won Big Ten Coach of the Year honors after his first season.
Last year:
The team had an extremely successful 12-1 season that surprised some football pundits.
Offense:
Nine starters return, including sensational running back P.J. Hill, who was seventh in most yards rushed by a freshman in NCAA history. Gifted wide receivers Paul Hubbard and Luke Swan join Travis Beckum, one of the best tight ends in the nation. The big challenge? Finding replacements for three-year starting quarterback John Stocco and left tackle Joe Thomas, the premier offensive lineman in college football last year. Senior Tyler Donovan, who started the final two games of last season when Stocco was injured, and Allan Evridge, a transfer from Kansas State, will vie for the starting QB job.
Defense:
The Badgers lost key players at safety, middle linebacker and defensive end, but the new linebacking corps will be the fastest and most athletic in the school's history. Jack Ikegwuonu is an impact player at cornerback.
Schedule:
Tough back-to-back games against Ohio State and Michigan in November.
Prediction:
9-3
