Wisconsin Badgers’ 2025 Football Schedule Ranked Toughest in Big Ten
The Wisconsin Badgers are facing a challenging 2025 football schedule, and according to CBS Sports, it’s the toughest of any Big Ten team this season.
CBS Sports college football analyst Brad Crawford recently ranked the most difficult schedules across the conference, and Wisconsin, under head coach Luke Fickell, is at the top of the list.
1. Wisconsin
The Badgers are counting on their top 15 transfer class to make an immediate impact, as many of their toughest matchups are on the road this season. In addition to road games at Michigan, Oregon, and Indiana, Wisconsin also faces a tough trip to Alabama early in the year. The pressure will be on Fickell and his coaching staff to navigate this challenging slate successfully.
As a silver lining, Wisconsin gets to host Ohio State and Illinois at home, but those matchups still pose significant challenges.
After Wisconsin, teams with the next most difficult schedules include Rutgers, Purdue, and USC, though none of them will face the Badgers this season.
Maryland, which has the easiest schedule in the Big Ten, and Oregon, with the second-softest, are both teams that will play against Wisconsin this year.
Fickell and his team will have to work hard to secure bowl eligibility, as the road to success is far from easy.
