ESPN has released its 2023 Preseason FPI Rankings.
The Wisconsin Badgers were ranked 20th behind fellow Big Ten foes Ohio State (#1), Michigan (#6), and Penn State (#10).
The Badgers had quite the eventful offseason, so it isn’t a surprise to see them ranked in the Top 25.
ESPN gives the Badgers a 1% chance of making the College Football Playoff, which is good for the 17th best in the nation.
According to ESPN, their FPI rankings “relies on past performance on offense and defense, returning and transfer production and past recruiting data for players on the roster to form a rating.
