ESPN B1G Blog: Way-too-early Big Ten Power Rankings

[NUance]

Wisconsin gets absolutely thrashed in Lincoln this year. Mark it.

Damn right! We gonna beat the Badgers like the red-headed stepchild of a rented mule! GBR!!

 

[Treand3]

I don't think Wisconsin will have the offense to be #3 in the B1G. They lost too much of their offensive line. They're gonna have two RS freshmen and a sophomore on their O-line. Just sayin..

To me, it's all about their defense. It's been elite the last few years. But now that they've lost Aranda and Wilcox back to back (and promoted a position coach to DC)I'm curious to see if there's drop off.

Its all about their front 7 to me. Gives them the right to be early favorites.
The do lose a sneaky bit of talent on offense. Ramczyk- An all American, Clement, Ogunbowale- Who killed us last year and was the type of back that gave us fits. Do return Fumagalli and Hornibrook(Not really scared of him though.)

Yeah, that's the thing. The Badgers lose a ton of talent on offense--pretty much their whole O-line. And on D, which was their strength last year, they have a new coordinator. Okay, sure we have a new DC as well. But for us it's an upgrade. For Wisconsin it's an unknown: First time DC who has exactly one year of position coaching under his belt. One year!

Wisconsin beat us by 6 points last October up in Camp Randall. This year it will be different. I think we'll beat them when they come to Lincoln. I'd put NU at the #3 spot in that Power Ranking, with Wisconsin just behind us. /jmho

I think they only lose the LT Ramczyk, but many of their big runs came on his side. As was mentioned earlier, they lose their starting OLBs, both all conference picks. They do return a majority of their front 7 though. They lose a four year starter/all conference pick at CB and starting FS.

Yes Nebraska had them on the ropes in their house and lost largely on Ogunbowale's ability 2nd/3rd and long situations imho. Also the QB completing a handful of more passes would've helped. Imho of course.

Ourlads has QB Bart Houston at the top of the Badger depth chart.

You're right. I was looking at their last year depth chart (which is perplexingly labeled 2017).

Bucks, Lions, and Wolvs are the clear top 3, so if we're better than Wiscy then we're 4. But NW will prlly have a QB advatage over us and their D's pretty salty, they were trending up last year. If played tomorrow they'd prlly be the fav.
Anyway, couldn't Wiscy find a good DC, wassup w that?

Based on history Wisconsin deserves to be there. No issues with that. Can't comment on NW yet.
Wiscy seems pretty confident in Leonhard. That could also be due to near seamless transitions to Aranda and Wilcox. Its gotts catch up with them at some point.

Wasn't TA's comp. like 32% @ Wiscy last year?. Yeah, if he could pass we win that game.

Ourlads compiles college fb depth charts. LINK If you Google "Wisconsin 2017 depth chart" the search results show 2017 Wisconsin Badgers Football Depth Chart | Ourlads.com. But it's actually their 2016 depth.

I like the break down the badgers are in the right spot the Huskers have to step up and earn it to be ahead of them. NW is should not be tied with the Huskers they need to be behind them and it will be interesting to see if Penn State can sustain the wins, I'm not sure they can.

Gotta give them the nod then, we'll be breaking in a rookie.

In contrast, Speight 20/32 1 TD 1 INT, Barrett 17/29 1 TD 1 INT and McSorley 22/32 4 TDs 0 INT. These are from all of their losses.
