The Badgers have been a model of consistency since 1996, missing the postseason only once. But there are concerns over the direction of the program under Bret Bielema, who begins his fourth season as coach. Bielema's first team was a sparkling 12-1 and his second team was 9-4. But last season Wisconsin slipped to 7-6 and needed overtime to defeat Division I-AA Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, 36-35, in the regular-season finale. Then came an ugly 42-13 loss to Florida State in the Champs Sports Bowl. Can the Badgers turn it around? The schedule is favorable with six of the first eight games at home. Wisconsin travels to Hawaii to end the regular season. Thanks to Kevin!
