Wisconsin football is a serious contender for both the Big Ten title and the College Football Playoff.

Of course there is always a range of outcomes in terms of best case and worst case for the Badgers in 2017.

Green Bay Packers announcer Larry McCarren has a simple but accurate mantra.  Teams need to be (1) lucky (2) good (3) healthy.  The luck and health are really impossible to project.

So while Badger fans expect Wisconsin to be good, we’ll have to assess prospects on a sliding scale.  In lieu of bold predictions or pronouncements, I’ll try and show the best case and worst case conclusions.  I’ll break this into segments for offense, defense, and standings for the good and bad.

In the interest of clarity and reality I will do my best to not project fantastical outcomes.  I’ll stay away from being a blind homer or cynic.  For example, I’m not inventing a program-wrecking scandal or rash of devastating injuries.

The post is focusing solely on the most plausible best case and worst case scenarios for Wisconsin football.  Specifically looking for the most conceivable ways the Wisconsin season soars to new heights or ends in some frustration.
