2026 Week 5 Wisconsin Badgers Rankings

Main Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
ChBass 4 Wisconsin is the other team both a top 10 offense and defense. Their only blemish is losing to Notre Dame, and that doesn't look too bad. The UCLA game in a few weeks will be a good test.

cyberchaox 16 Wisconsin was better than their record last year, hidden by a brutal conference SOS (they nearly dodged every bad team in the conference), but this is still a surprise. Then again, last year's record is a meaningless prediction metric in the age of NIL.
PlactusTX 16 LW: NR | Tier 3 (no change) | W Penn State

Wisconsin was lurking in the next teams out, but a win over Penn State brings them to the ballot.

T-Thugs 23 Wisconsin is 3-1 with a really nice win over Penn State (3-1). Only loss is to Notre Dame.
Versigot 23 Happy Valley is not an easy place to go into and win.
Zloggt 23 Did...did Fickell just save his job? Maybe not entirely...but it's a start!

Lefunnymaymays4lief 25 (NR) Welcome back Badgers. We kept your seat warm but may have eaten all the Colby cheese. And the beer cheese. And the brats. And the pretzels. And drank all the good brews so now it’s just Busch Light left. We good?
