Projection: likely out
Wisconsin’s résumé is built around a few clear highs and a few damaging neutral-site lows. A neutral win over Providence and conference victories like the one over Northwestern give the profile some eye-catching moments, while lopsided neutral losses to BYU and TCU open a gap that ordinary nonconference wins do little to fill. That leaves road performance and the remaining neutral chances as the clearest levers to flip the narrative, with trips to Michigan, Purdue, Oregon and Washington and neutral tests against Villanova among the best opportunities to turn doubt into conviction, because committee voters prize quality results away from Madison and will judge this team on whether it can convert those chances into statement wins rather than additional resume dents.
