Big Ten football power rankings after spring portal closes: Did Badgers get better?
. team. . . 8. Big Ten power rankings. . . 493.
The Badgers finished with a modest 7-6 record in 2023 and they did not lose a ton of pieces in the draft. Their biggest loss was Braelon Allen who was the youngest player drafted to the NFL in 2024.
Luke Fickell lost six guys in the spring window which isn't great, but they at least brought in two guys to make up for the losses. It is not far-fetched to say that Wisconsin should be able to take a step forward in 2024.
Looking forward to next season, the Badgers look like they could be a dangerous team, with another year under Fickell and experienced players returning. The 2024 season could be a good one for the Badgers but will some pieces still missing, they will be right in the middle of these power rankings.
