The Badgers checked in at No. 21 in USA Today’s preseason coaches poll, which was released Wednesday.
Wisconsin is one of five Big Ten teams ranked in the top 25. The conference boasts three in the top 10 alone (No. 1 Indiana, No. 4 Ohio State and No. 5 Michigan).
The Big Ten’s two-year single-play cycle will pit Wisconsin against Indiana and Michigan just once, but the Badgers will play a home-and-home series against both Ohio State and No. 14 Michigan State.
The Badgers will also play No. 10 Florida and No. 15 Creighton in the regular season.
Wisconsin was ranked No. 12 in last year’s preseason poll.
