When the 2015 season is placed in the rear-view mirror, some people will surely view Wisconsin's campaign as a disappointment because the Badgers did not play for the Big Ten championship. They will lament that the Badgers didn't win their final 11 regular-season games and that they couldn't score from the 1-yard line in winnable games at home against Iowa and Northwestern.
Those are perfectly fair complaints. It's also important to note that the season could have been much worse. Wisconsin could have folded late against Nebraska after kicker Rafael Gaglianone missed the potential game-winning field goal.
