There are plenty of questions regarding the Wisconsin football program as we head towards the summer. Today it was confirmed that Las Vegas also has questions, as proved by the release of the projected Big Ten over/under win totals for the 2025 season.

Ohio State 10½
Oregon 10½
Penn State 10
Indiana 8½
Michigan 8½
Washington 7½
Illinois 7½
Iowa 7½
Nebraska 7½
USC 7½
Minnesota 6½
Michigan State 5½
Rutgers 5½
UCLA 5½
Wisconsin 5½
Maryland 4½
Northwestern 4
Purdue 3
It is difficult to say that it is a surprise, but it is still very odd to see how low Wisconsin is on this list. After being a top tier Big Ten program for decades, to only see Maryland, Northwestern and Purdue beneath them in what is now an 18-team conference grabs your attention.
The 2024 season was a disaster for Wisconsin, and the first one that concluded without a bowl since 2001. According to Vegas, making a bowl in 2025 will also be a struggle. This is understandable considering the unknowns that will surround this team at the beginning of the season and also the brutal schedule that includes Alabama, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana and Illinois.
The Badgers will quickly need to show marked improvement if they hope to prove Vegas wrong.
